    Netgear FVX538 router bad caps

    Just repaired 2 Netgear FVX538 routers with bad caps. Same caps bad on both boards. Original caps were 1000uf, 16V made by TEAPO.

    Welcome, ecalleli!
    Good repair job.
    The bad capacitors appear to be Teapo SC (if that is correct).
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      Thanks. I've repaired DC jacks and things like that before but this is my first capacitor repair. I'm not sure how to tell if they are the "SC" model. The only markings are TEPCO, SZ105°C, 10/05, and A3.

        They are SZ series.
        .
        Need something comparable to MBZ for those.

          Then it's SZ-serie, supposedly ultra low ESR capacitors. What did you replace them with?

            I believe it's a Nichicon HN(M) B1050.

              HM would have been good enough but HN will work fine.
              BTW:
              The (M) is just the uF tolerance code [+/-20%], and not part of the series name.
              .... I know,,, they run it together when they print it.

                HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
                by momaka
                Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                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).

                https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                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...
