    Capacitors from Fry's.

    Hi. I have an Acer 1916w LCD that I got from the job. It's power light would just blink so I assumed it was a cap problem. I took it apart and there are fat capacitors. I read somewhere on here that caps from Radioshack are worthless. Has anyone tried any from Fry's Electronics?

    The fat caps are:
    2 x 470uF 25v
    1 x 470uF 10v
    1 x 1000uF 10v

    Fry's sells caps? Knowing the brands Fry's carries, I wouldn't expect them to be good.

      Well I was having a look at Digikey and I'm not sure what kind to order. I can match up the specs but I'm not sure which ones are most reliable.

      They are all rated at 105C and they are the Elite Brand.

        Panasonic FM would be good. Watch your height and width though, you don't want to have caps that won't fit.

          Re: Capacitors from Fry's.

          So I would get the FM Panasonic 470uF 25v for example, to replace the Elite 470uF 25v? Do any other specs aside from size matter? Be great if there was a store that sold these that I could drive to lol.

            Even crazier idea...I don't suppose I could pull a cap from another device...I have tons of CRT's, vid cards, and mobo's.

              You could - I just recently replaced a Samsung cap in my dad's TV with a rubycon I got out of an old monitor. One thing though - if the caps are used, especially if they're several years old, you can't really expect them to last a long time. What I would to is this: take caps from an old CRT to replace these temporarily, and order new ones (Panny FM would be great, like 370 said) from digikey. Then when the new ones come in, replace the temporary ones. My friend and I fixed an LCD by doing that.

                Yup, a FM would easily match or exceed the specs of the elites, so as long as the uF is the same (it can actually increase or decrease a bit, not too much though) and voltage is the same (can be higher, is just a max rating of the voltage the cap can take, generally do not go lower unless you know the exact volts going to that cap)

                  Ok I'm gonna go hunting thru my CRT's. Digikey doesn't list any 470uF 10v's that are 10 x 16. Any other good places I can order this size?

                      Frys Electronics carries NTE caps - many of them from Xicon. They tend to be expensive - $1.97 for a 22 uF 50 V cap. The same cap would cost about $.30 from Digikey. (I needed it to get the monitor working, OK!!!)

                      And a hint about Digikey. Specify USPS First Class mail for shipping. Typical cost for a dozen caps (enough to recap a monitor) will be under $10, including shipping.

                        The issue is the ones I see in the product index are smaller. They don't come any bigger aparently. The biggest I see is 8 x 11.5.

                          That must be the one i found - smaller usually isn't a problem. you'll probably have to bend the leads to get them to fit in the holes though

                            Fry's caps are over priced and if they have a low ESR cap it got there on accident.
                            They don't usually have any low ESR at all.

                            Elite has a number of series' and FM are over-kill for some of them.
                            FM will work anyway but if you are aiming too high for the minimum specs it reduces your options.
                            - You can look up the original specs here:

                              Just use Digikey or mouser. Radioshack, fry's or other local multi-purpose store would not give you the caps with the specs you need (ESR wise)

                                Hi,

                                If power led blinks, there is problem with mosfets, too.
                                Measure both 40T03GP. When one of them shorted, order pair of them, too.

                                        I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                        This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                                        After all of...

                                        Are there any datasheets available for Elna RJG capacitors?

                                        I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...

                                        Samsung UN70tu7000wxza no standby light, do I have bad capacitors?
                                        by ctroxtell
                                        I picked up a 70" Samsung UN70TU7000WXZA. The original owner said they were watching it when the power surged and knocked it out. I pulled the back off the TV and disconnected the main board from the power board, and the LED backlight came on, which I was told meant the power board was good. When everything is plugged in the standby light will not come on, looking at the main board BN94-17775A with a thermal imaging gun I can see one of the chips labeled 3202 is 251 degrees F just sitting idle. I found a replacement board, BN94-16115X; this board has the same symptoms, except it is a different...

                                        Missing Capacitors- MSI RTX 2080
                                        by Fahd Qureshi
                                        Hi All,

                                        I recently purchased as MSI RTX 2080 SEAHAWK X, which isn't working. I noticed there are 2 capacitors missing from the back- see images. I am wondering, could this explain why the card won't work? I appreciate any help!
