    Samsung 216BW : Are these good caps to purchase?

    I have two Samsung 216BW monitors that are acting up, and I'm pretty sure both have a decent chance being caused by bad capacitors. When either is off for around 30 minutes, several minutes of flickering and hitting power switch repeatedly is needed to get them to turn on. One will flicker really fast for a bit, then turn off. When I cycle the power switch a few times, it eventually stays on. The other stays dark until I cycle the power switch a few times, then starts flickering, and after more cycling eventually stays on.

    Once they're on, unless they turn off, they're good to go. Although one of them seems darker than it should at times, but only slightly.

    I've looked at the capacitors on both power supplies, and they're slightly bulging.

    Are these good capacitors to purchase to replace them with? I'm not 100% positive about all the specs on capacitors. (Since I have two monitors, I'll be actually ordering twice the quantities shown below.)

    (5) Panasonic EEU-FM1E821L (Digikey P12391-ND) CAP ALUM 820UF 25V 20% RADIAL
    5000hrs @ 105C, 2.47a ripple current, ??ESR, 18 mOhm impedance
    (1) Panasonic EEU-FM1E331L (Digikey P12387-ND) CAP ALUM 330UF 25V 20% RADIAL
    3000hrs @ 105C, 1.24a ripple current, ??ESR, 41 mOhm impedance
    (1) Panasonic EEU-FC1H470 (Digikey P10321-ND) CAP ALUM 47UF 50V 20% RADIAL
    1000hrs @ 105C, 260mA ripple current, ??ESR, 600 mOhm impedance
    (1) Panasonic EEU-FM1H220 (Digikey P12927-ND) CAP ALUM 22UF 50V 20% RADIAL
    2000hrs @ 105C, 250mA ripple current, ??ESR, 340 mOhm impedance
    (1) Panasonic EEU-FC1H2R2 (Digikey P10313-ND) CAP ALUM 2.2UF 50V 20% RADIAL
    1000hrs @ 105C, 45mA ripple current, ??ESR, 1.8 Ohm impedance

    I'm certainly not married to the brand Panasonic. Just saw a few people on here recommending those with Samsung monitors. I picked FM series where in stock, and FC where it wasn't.

    I don't mind spending a bit extra to go with something better. I saw somewhere it's important to get low ESR capacitors, and I'm frustrated the ESR is blank everywhere at least on digikey.com.

    Would these do a decent job, or do any of them jump out as: what's this guy doing ordering those?

    Yes. That is what most members here would have recommended.

    You want the replacement caps to have the same or more ripple as the original. You want the same ESR or lower as the original.

      and to fit in the space occupied by the originals. Although I haven't made *that* mistake myself, a number have picked caps that are too tall or too large in diameter.
      Friends don't let friends buy Samsung ....

        I always shoot for the biggest (but also other parameters as retiredcaps mentioned) that will physically fit in the available space. Sometimes that means I can go to a larger diameter, seldom does it mean it can be more than 2mm taller if that... though a couple times when I was in a rush and out of stock, I soldered on the slightly too tall capacitor, put a dot of paint on top and while paint was wet, I held the metal PSU cover over it to mark location.

        In that location I cut a hole to give the cap clearance. It's not something I recommend over the right size caps but in a pinch it'll do if the cap is close to fitting, or in some cases you can lay it sideways and cement it down with heat resistant cement (silicone caulking is the closest equivalent most people would already have in their workshop) and a wire strap around it through new holes drilled in the PCB. Just don't make the leads really long.

          MacBook Pro M1 Pro Logic Board 820-02100 Mosfet where to purchase?
          by prodigy83
          My reference only: TT10141.

          Problem: I need to purchase a mosfet chip from board 820-02100 M1 Pro, that is supposed to be Q5820 but according to Digikey, the schematic diagram I sent them, neither are relevant to the actual mosfet specification I sent them. I just basically need to find this mosfet to purchase, I cannot find it anywhere and am hoping someone could point me in the right direction without have to purchase this entire allusive board. Already checked with Digikey, Mouser, Aliexpress, eBay. Any suggestions?

          Mosfet specs are as follows:

          Picking caps for Antec SU-380
          by ajdrenter
          In my search for a proper 5v heavy ATX power supply, I selected an old Antec SU-380 that I've had in storage for a long time. Opening the power supply reveals a couple bulged capacitors. I removed all the caps and made a map for myself. I found the datasheet for the PCE TUR series in this thread:
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14159
          It says these are general purpose, so I assume I can replace them with any general purpose capacitors, but I don't really know anything about power supply circuits or reading capacitor datasheets. Despite this, I've been shopping for replacements:...

          what capacitor should I purchase for LCD display PCB?
          by chth96
          I want to fix Video door phone which works its doorbell but it is not able to display any screen.
          So I disassembled its plastic case and I detached FPC film cable from LCD display in order to inspect LCD display's PCB
          I measured ESR resistance of all smd capacitor on this PCB and I noticed that there is some SMD capacitor which has high ESR value(48ohm 50V 0.47uf,15 and 28 ohm 50v 3.3uf,10 and 8 ohm 35v 10uf)
          I desoldered this 5 suspicious SMD capacitor like below screenshot.

          But I cannot identify specification of desoldered...

          What capacitor should I purchase for Power Supply of obsolete game consoles?
          by chth96
          hello.

          I have Sega Saturn and 5 years ago, I recapped all of capacitor in the Power supply, Because At that time, It frequently freezed black screen after SEGA logo displayed.

          It hardly ever freezed after I finished to recap all of caps in the power supply.

          But Yesterday, It did not show any screen at all and its green power LED constantly blinked.

          To my surprise I found that all of two NXH 10v 2200uf capacitors in the secondary area of Power supply have been bulged and It measured 57 mF and 75 mF capacitance.

          It seems that quality...

          I realize now I could have polymodded this. But @ 3x the cost of these FR these will do!
