    Re: 204B freezes after caps replace

    If the power supply is putting out 13.06-13.07 V on the DVM, can we consider it stable? I have this situation, but the logic board still seems to not be sending correct voltages back for dimming etc, and the power button won't light. So is this a bad logic board, or still potentially bad power supply? My supply ultimately failed enough to leave brown mark on the shielding. I replaced all the caps.

      "13.06-13.07 V" that is fine as you can see in the other post on this thread.

        Just an update for my case:
        As I own more than on 204B, I swapped logic boards from a working unit. This immediately solved the problem.

        I found a Chinese source for the part and ordered a new replacement signal/logic board (BN41-00620F Driver Board) from here:

        But there are plenty of other sources available:

          I had the same problem with 204B - monitor sometimes freezed after powering on.
          Shortening pins 5 and 6 of EEPROM A81SC (24C08) made 204B working.
          But there was no physical damages in 24C08 nor in it's dump.

          The cause was the bad capasitor C609, which did not smooth IC602 (1.8V voltage regulator for powering MCU) output.

            Ok, then I will try to find proper capacitors, replace them and see what's going to happen.

              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).

              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...

              Caps and how to find one to replace
              by edith
              Hello everyone I have a question. I have a laptop and his schematic. Can anyone tell me how to measure or any way to understand specific of caps so i can buy new one?

              Also in case how can I understand if some caps of some dead Mobo i have, are ok to be replaced in my new motherboard which im trying to fix?

              Thank you!

              Which caps to replace: ECS P4M800Pro-M V1.0A
              by Mattz_GT
              It's feeling like this board has a case of badcaps, instability and reboots - and not wanting to necro a a very old thread, it seems the 680uF 4V are highly suspect.
              I don't really want to blanket recap everything, but maybe the others around that area could do with being changed?

              Equipment: I have a temperature controlled soldering station, read the bit where it says set to 400F, don't think I would have gone that high without reading that.
              Spring plunger solder sucker, and some desolder braid... and a bit of good old leaded 60/40.

              PS. Additional diagnostic,...

              Replacement for the Siemens Bakelite caps in an early 1980s SMPS
              by rewease
              Hi everyone,

              There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.

              Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.

              Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...
