    Counterfeit Sanyo WG?

    Hey guys I'm new here so I need you guy's opinion on some capacitors I bought off eBay. I have seen many Sanyo capacitors with K & T top and crooked "+" vents with dumbell and T bungs. The ones I bought were completely different from the one's I've seen on this forum. The bungs (bottom) were the same as the CapXon capacitors that I will be replacing. I just don't want to take any chance with inferior capacitors. Here are some images:







    PS the seller had 100% pos feedback and have sold a ton of these same capacitors before. Please give me some input. Thanks.

      I bought a bag of those from eBay-vendor yvonnewindy, and those were fake. ESR varied between 0.04 and 0.06, differentiated by the two different types of bungs (one similar to yours) that the caps came with. Should be 0.016 according to the datasheet. All genuine Sanyos I've seen, has the K shaped vent. Between Christmas holiday, and a lot of work, I forgot to put in a negative feedback for you fellow eBayers before the time limit ran out. I've seen other vendors peddling the same fakes.

      Seem to be a lot of fake WGs out there. I've seen obvious fakes from several eBay vendors. I will not buy another Sanyo off eBay, unless the vent is depicted, or the vendor is known to sell good stuff. When it comes to capacitors, I don't really trust eBay feedback. Most buyers don't have an ESR-meter, and so can't test them properly.

      I didn't pay much for the ones I bought, so the most irritating thing was that I was to late to put in the negative feedback. It would have been nice to have a eBay capacitor vendor hall of shame in the forum.

          They look fake. Someone on here (I think it was willa but I'm not sure) said that a Sanyo rep told him that ALL Sanyo caps have the K vent.

              Thats fake, Sanyo always uses the K vent or the crooked + sign.

                  Thank you for all the feedback. Nice to know that these are fake, luckily I have some extra Nippon Chemi-con KZH to replace them with.

                      That bunge - does anyone think also that that is a CapXon?

                              Every Sanyo WG I've seen had the K vent, but here are some WX and CA Sanyos with overlapping X vents, bought from BDent.com:

                                  larrymoencurly, I've seen sanyo with that type of vent on a motherboard before. IIRC it was an Acer.
                                  I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                                      These appear to be genuine (from an ASUS video card):

                                      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                                          Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
                                          by DXseekerMO
                                          Hello everyone!

                                          Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

                                          I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...

                                          When i need to replace cpu or gpu or pch ...i mostly order reballed chip from china, but lately there are more broken ones then working.
                                          So lately i tried with ebay "not working motherboards". I ordered a few broken motherboards from ebay but i have found out that there are many scammers on ebay. The most of them are selling already destroyed motherboards with pictures in low resolution, some of them are being scammed and just scam forwarding...
                                          First board i ordered last month was ok. Cpu was dead but i could use gpu and pch. The second arrived 2 weeks ago...and it was...

                                          Mystery 80s Sanyo cap - perhaps polymer?
                                          by cj_reha
                                          Hey all I've been working on a 1984 Sanyo 27" color TV which had a smattering of bad caps in the video switching circuit. I found this oddball little 1uF 25V cap which looks to me like an early polymer, but I can't find concrete info proving it. I know Sanyo was a big player in early polymer cap development and this is the time period where they were just getting on the market, so I'm wondering if anyone has crusty old datasheets that could help identify it and determine if my suspicions are right? It has the same epoxy end seal and font/formatting as some old stock Os-Cons I've got laying...

                                          Sanyo DP5834 - Gray Screen
                                          by toddw65
                                          Hey All,

                                          I have a Sanyo DP5834 that did have an issue with the backlights, but I disassembled the unit and repaired the LED strips by resoldering all of the connectors. Now I've reassembled it and I have backlights and sound, but a grayish screen. I can tap on the screen and see that it's on, but no picture. All voltages seem to be correct on the power board.

                                          Based on the LCD Flat panel TV troubleshooting guide by Bud Martin, I'm thinking the T-Con has failed because I'm getting 12v both into and out of FP1 on the T-Con. Am I on the right track?

                                          Thanks,...

                                          You find these on ebay all the time. Seller feedback is good in regards to them being legit...but I'm still leary. Anyone with experience with these? Seems quite a few around here are running enterprise; and unless ya'll are stealing the keys from your employers, where are you getting them?
