Could somebody explain in simple terms the different uses for low ESR as compared to low impedance capacitors? I am thinking you can use both on motherboards but low impedance is better for power supplies?

Re: Low impedance vs low ESR
I found this which explains it good enough for me.

Re: Low impedance vs low ESR
Thanks for clearing that up. Thats what I figured when I read the article. What got me confused is seeing some people selling capacitors that have some labeled "Low ESR" and others in the same sheet labeled "Low Impedance". So that kind of looked like there might be a subtle difference.Regards,

Hello!
I need to change the capacitors on my three original Xboxes.
Two of them are 1.6B revisions and have Hynix RAM, and the other one is a 1.6 with Samsung RAM.
The 1.6 has the infamous Nichicon HM capacitors around the CPU, which have all bulged and started to leak. This Xbox no longer powers on.
The 1.6B revisions have Rubycon MBZ capacitors that all look fine, but I’ll change them in due course. Both of these work fine.
I’ve seen some excellent threads on the forum about replacing/upgrading capacitors, but I can’t... -
Figured I’d separate the recapping details of this PSU in a different thread so that the information can be easier to find. To be more specific, this thread is about recapping of the Delta DPS-300AB-24b, shown here. All details about the build quality of that PSU are posted there.
Here is the PSU, just to see what we are dealing with:
And here is a cap diagram:
Let’s break it down what goes where…

*** cap spot C953: Taicon PW, 10V, 680 uF,... -
Hi all
Hope this is in the correct place.
I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid

Pictures of the boards are attached.
What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

I would like to ask if there is some kind of capacitor lists for motherboards, power supplies, video cards, audio cards, microcontroller powered home appliances, and so, that i could try to find and download. I use to repair those things and i would find it helpful if i could know in advance what parts may i need for common repairs. -
Hello from France,
mon2 kindly advised me to post a thread to ask the question(s) I'm concerned about. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards especially laptops in Europe, if possible in France. I have been a computer network system administrator and a corrector of administration modules for automated programs under Unix. But I really miss the practical "ops" side of troubleshooting. So I would like to start from the beginning: 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V and 19V tests for example, etc...
Do you think this is feasible for me? I...
