    Onkyo TX-NR525 Bad Caps???

    So I found this receiver at my local transfer station brought it home and plugged it in and it seemed to work fine. Once I started watching something I noticed it flickered for a second. The sound was fine but the picture would blink for a second and then come back and it does this every couple of seconds. So I did some research and couldn't find any issue with this specific receiver (TX-NR525 yr 2013). I did see a lot of issue's with the hdmi boards on older models.

    I'm a newbie and have had luck in the past fixing T.V.'s but mostly by buying new boards. I'd like to use this opportunity to dig a little deeper and see if I can fix the board. I've noticed on a lot the onkyo hdmi boards issue's where bad caps. I'm guess this might be a cap going bad?

    So the hdmi board I have is bchdm 1347. I've include pictures. Let me know what you guys/gals think could be the issue with the board.

    Thanks

    Bad caps were on the older receivers, on these newer ones the DSP IC solder balls are the most likely cause. Try reheating that Texas Instruments DSP IC, or you may have to replace it, which is hard to find these days. There is a recall on these ICs. They fail way to early. There is a newer IC, that should be used, instead of B version(what most likely what you have now) a D version should be used instead. Look at the part number, do you see a B in there?

        You'll need to use some liquid flux under the ic chip if you are attempting a reflow or the solder balls will all stick together

          Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
          by momaka
          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:

          Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
          by eryjus
          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."

          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
          by Paxman_Swede
          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...

          Onkyo TX-8050 AV-Receiver no sound
          by ai.need.help
          Hello,

          I have a problem with my Onkyo TX-8050 Receiver. I got it from aftermarket and it was just delivered today.

          It doesn't play music. There is no real output from:
          pre-out
          amp-out A and B
          phones out

          The only real sound I hear is a humming from the speakers when I play a song from usb or select a analog source. And when stopping and starting songs from usb or switching sources, I hear a crack from the speakers.

          I tested with analog-input, usb and radio.

          I know that there is a common problem with...

          Help with switching power supply caps
          by captain150
          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,...
