Re: Solid caps
Well, most boardmakers are shifting away from the well branded and accepted manufacturers like Sanyo in favor of cheaper producers from Taiwan and China.
I would not be surprised, if those cheaper, unbranded solid caps from Taiwan will again be as problematic as those low esr elketrolytics from Taiwanese producers are in the past up to now.
The problem is always not only the knowledge, than a consistent quality in the producktion prozess.
E.g. those solid polymers are very very sensitive to trapped moisture during entcapsulation.
There is no quicktest, for that.
So if there is one producer, who missed this due to cheaper raw material, lower cleaning standards or just due to untrained and unaware workers, a long therm failure rate is unavoidavle.
I personaly would ask for Sanyo solid polymer caps, as those have proven themselve as reliable since ages. -
Re: Solid caps
Think You hit the nail on the head there Gonzo
not that i know much on who makes what with solids
if they start using cheap made products trouble is sure to follow
It been proven on these forums if you use good quality electrolytics a MB or psu can last a very long time.
So once the bean counters start buying low quality versions of solids then here we go again I suppose.

Re: Solid caps
The problem is, that you can`t be shure what caps your are get, wehn buying a new board.
E.g. Gigabyt is lately using sometimes Sanyo, and sometimes something else on the very same board.Comment

Re: Solid caps
true, lets hope thats the lessons been learnt with regards to using crap caps but I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
You would hope its a similar quality cap,
esp since they are making a big song and dance in regard to using them in their publicity machine....like how much longer they last etcYou step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you may be swept off to." Bilbo Baggins ...Comment

Re: Solid caps
It appears that motherboard manufacturers are far more likely to use solid caps now. Especially 2008 and later.Originally posted by icebytesNow motherboard makers started use them

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,... -
I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)
So, here is the...
