    Kworld TV tuner card

    Has Stone 85C 1000uf 16v caps





    Not bad yet, but I'm going to keep my eye on it... it doesn't have that many hours on it yet.

    Those STONE caps look like they are general-purpose caps.

        16v seems very excessive. i think you could replace them with 1000uf 6.3 no problem 5v is what the card will see. newbie2 is correct in his observation. might as well replace with low esr caps and see if there is any benefit.

        i am currently enjoying an old pctvpro which under fedora 4.2 is recognised automatically on install and plays immediately via tvtime. so i can watch tv on a monitor next to my main screen. i havent watched movies for several months but now it works well this way as i cant hold my attention long enough to watch only tv.

        kworld and avermedia are quite common here along with pinnacle. i vowed not to purchase another pinnacle as their driver/software support was rather silly as they require installation from original disk before update. Hauppage appear popular and i wonder if they are really any good. Ati Theatrix 550 appears to be the one to get but availability here is lacking.

          Where did you buy that card, dood? I see a TV tuner that looks identical in Cyberguys catalog, thinking about getting it for TV in my room (antenna only tho).

            hmm, well.. my tvcard doesn't even seem to have any elco caps

            yep, i've seen a lot of 16v caps on the vga/pci cards and replacing them with 10v ones is okay. i never try it with the 6.3v though..

                These capacitors filter the power rails for the card, because there can be induced noise after the power supply, even though it has good filtering. You are unlikely to have problems if you use a power supply with adequately rated electrolytic capacitors for each rail on the output side.
                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.

                  Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
                  by Christos Tsiligiannis
                  Hello to the forum.

                  My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

                  So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

                  To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

                  So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...

                  Graphics Card mounting frame
                  by Kemer
                  Hello, I removed the graphics card from my laptop and I want to heat it in the oven. What I want to ask is, is it okay to heat the card without removing the metal mounting frame on it?

                  As you can see in the photo, there is a plastic (black) gasket between the metal frame and the card. It sticks the frame tightly to the card.

                  I previously removed the metal frame while heating it, but it is quite difficult to separate it from the surface it is attached to. If there is no problem, I do not want to remove it.

                  What worries me right now is the possibility that...

                  EVGA Nu Audio Sound Card - Not Working
                  by FZG
                  I have an EVGA Nu Audio sound card that is not working properly and I need some help diagnosing the fault (preferably by someone who owns this card and is willing to take some measurements).

                  The card sort of powers up (LED lights are coming on and the relais is clicking, some voltages are present) but it is not detected in Windows. I tried installing in two different PCs and tried several driver versions but the card was never detected anyway. So I thought this is probably not a driver / software-issue and then disassembled the card to take some measurements.

                  I found...
