    Blown cap replacement help

    My oven's display is out and I trace that to a leaking cap.

    It is a Nichicon PL 35V 68uF 105C and I am not able to find a suitable replacement.

    I have some Panny FC 50V 33uF laying around and want to try 2 of these in parallel as a temp fix. Will it work and would it cause any issue?

      That will give you 66uF and both PL and FC caps are +/-20% on uF anyway.
      Should be fine.

              Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
              by the_rem
              Hello guys,

              I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

              I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

              PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
              by ezenia
              Hello,

              Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

              So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

              I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

              Trying to understand how to find best replacement cap for old parts.

              Disclaimer: This is the first time I step into the realm of analog electronics and my natural language is not English, so please forgive me if I failed to use the correct terms when describing things.


              Recently I purchased a Tektronix TDS1012, a 20 years old product for cheap and I thought it could be a nice opportunity for playing (i.e. recapping) and learn something in the process.
              The power supply board is exactly the same from this post so I'll just steal it for now.

              I'm trying to find replacements for all those Lelon electrolytic caps, but then quickly...

              Macbook pro logic board replacement parts quesion
              by boosti45
              i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

              LG 47LB5DF blown power supply board
              by cmlewis89
              Hi folks,

              I'm new to this forum. So my trusty 17-year-old LG 47" LCD recently died. As I was booting it up, I heard a hum followed by a loud bang, sounds of pieces flying around, and loss of power to the unit. Inspecting the PSU, I saw two obvious problems: a blown thermistor (bang + flung pieces) and a visibly bulging main cap. Inspecting as many components as I could with my Fluke MM, I diagnosed that the following components on the "hot side" of the board were also bad: one of the 2 main MOSFETs, main 8A fuse, small cap (25V 47uF) connected to main caps, and a blown...
