    x241w revisted

    Five... oh god how can it be five... anyways, five years ago I made this thread...

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10174

    Everything has been going great until this last weekend.

    Light comes on full strength and then is out after about a second. This is slightly different from before. It use to come on about half way then go out. No amount of warming up has helped it nor repeated attempts to turn on, 100+.

    Anyways I took everything apart and the caps seem good?
    Maybe the ones on the board that has the display connections look a little puffy on top. Other then that not sure I can see anything else wrong.

    Here is a gallery of a decent amount of pictures.

    This is where I have started with my diagnosis. Hopefully I can get some direction on what moves to make. Will respond ASAP.

    on the main logic board, 4 caps in a line under 2 regulators.
    they look fucked!

    cooked by the regulators - replace them with something long-life like panasonic FR series.

      Awesome, Glad something looks obvious.

      Just to be sure, these guys? https://imgur.com/Xjhf6Tc

      The caps are 330uf 16v. Should I use 25v instead? or replace with the exact same?

        that's the 4.

        i usually use the same simply because going over often makes them bigger.
        what's the diameter & height?

          Yea good point, It is a bit of a tight squeeze.
          The caps are 13mm tall and 7mm wide. with 3mm spacing on leads.

          Seems like they would be the same height but a bit wider... they are already pretty close. However, it seems like a 330uf 16v doesn't exist for Panasonic FR... unless the search is broken.

            that's wrong, the diameter should be 6.3mm or 8mm - there is no 7mm.

            if they are 8mm you can use FM series or go up a step and use 470uf 16v FR series.

              Yep, you are correct. Embarrassingly I wasn't using calipers and just had a hard time measuring that angle.
              Anyways, the three choices then.

              http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...2372-ND/613733

              Would one of them handle the stress better that was caused the old ones to go bad in the first place? Or at this point are they of such better quality that I should just roll a dice?

              Thanks for all the great help. Will order tonight and hopefully update by next weekend.

                Re: x241w revisted

                use the 470uf FR's
                that way, when they get cooked, they have a lot more headway before they fail.

                    ASRock N100M, no picture no boot, but semi-alive
                    by Exim
                    Hi guys,
                    I managed to semi-kill an ASRock N100M board after updating Bios from 1.10 to 2.01. It's a zombie now, dead, but not dead.

                    ASRock N100M special features:
                    - CPU soldered to board, small Intel 12th gen
                    - iGPU
                    - four POST LEDs

                    Problem after updating Bios to 2.01 using the in-Bios update tool: no picture, no boot.
                    I am not sure anymore if it booted at least once successfully after updating the bios to 2.01, maybe not, I can't remember. I think it did not.

                    Symptoms:
                    - no picture/signal on any of the display connectors,...

                    MBP 15 2018 A1990 Water damage
                    by David82827372
                    Here's what happened: water entered the connection between the screen and keyboard of my MacBook Pro. The power button has stopped functioning. I have to resort to using the charger to turn on the MacBook.

                    Furthermore, even when connected to the charger, it's challenging to turn it on, as after about a hundred attempts, the MacBook starts charging from one of the ports and only then powers up. I've changed outlets and cords, yet it seems like the MacBook randomly chooses when to recognize the charging.

                    After several hours of inactivity, the MacBook cannot be quickly turned...

                    MT3608 Step-Up Converter IC Datasheet
                    by Document Archive
                    The MT3608 is a constant frequency, 6-pin SOT23 current mode step-up converter intended for small, low power applications. The MT3608 switches at 1.2MHz and allows the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in height.

                    Internal soft-start results in small inrush current and extends battery life.

                    The MT3608 features automatic shifting to pulse frequency modulation mode at light loads. The MT3608 includes under-voltage lockout, current limiting, and thermal overload protection to prevent damage in the event of an output overload. The MT3608 is available...

                    Good Afternoon friends,

                    Can someone please help me, I have attached a picture. This laptop sustained a very small amount of liquid damage. I'm positive the cap seen in the picture ( the cap has been removed ) is short, but could it also by the ( Mostfet ) I think that's what the IC is called. When i put my positive and negative problems on my multimeter, on the shorted cap, it beeps. Im sorry if my explanation is not great....

                    HP 14-CE Series - Blank Screen on Resume - (14-CE360SA) - Motherboard -> G7AL-2G, DAG7ALMB8C0 Rev : C
                    by reessi
                    Hello!

                    This machine had the classic fault that all these motherboards have which is the loose pins on the RAM slot.

                    I soldered them as I have done on a few other of these and then it posted.

                    Everything works, fully installed with Windows 11 etc.

                    Only fault is when it has gone to sleep and you turn on again the screen is blank with no backlight and the caps lock does not work so I assume it has frozen completely.

                    Only way to get it to post again is to remove the battery! No amount of forcing off and on will get it to post!
