    GF5200 AGP-Bad Caps and PCB discoloration

    I need some help finding suitable replacements for 3 Ltec 820uF 6.3V LMB, 1 bulging.

    There are also 2 820uF 6.3V KZG and a tiny GSC 100uF 16V.

    There is noticeable PCB discoloraton due to heat, bellow the GPU. Is this normal?

      This is a passively cooled card so yes it's normal for the PCB to change color after years of use.

      I would make sure to replace the KZG as well.

          That's a tiny heat sink for an FX5200. I would either replace it with a bigger heat sink, add a 40mm fan or put a PCI hamster wheel blower next to it.

              I got the card partially recapped. I replaced 2 Ltec 820uF 6.3V LMB with 2 Panasonic FJ 1000uF 6.3V that I got from a dead ATI card.

              I will test the card more and if it is ok I will also replace the 820uF 6.3V KZGs with Panasonic FJ 1000uF 6.3V.

                  The card looks to be made by Asus (the polarity markings for the caps are backwards). That would explain the small heat sink.

                      I noticed that, but googling VGA150158B gives Point Of View as the maker.

                          Actually, I have a Point Of View 6600GT. I'll check that one later. Maybe POV do it too.

                              It is, in fact, an Asus. Asus V9520-X

                              It says "V9520-X" on the white sticker to the right of the RAM. At first I googled for V9620 cause it looked like that.. found out there are multiple "V9520" cards. A pic of the -X version nailed it. Looked at the context of the website and it was listed as V9520-X. Rechecked the label, and indeed.. there's the X I thought was not important

                              Looks like Anus was embarrassed or something. They hid the logo underneath the heatsink lol

                                  That explains it. I never noticed the backwards polarity markings on my POV 6600GT.

                                      On my card there is a sticker in that area that says Point Of View. Just checked.

                                              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).

                                              It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                                              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."
                                              ...

                                              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...

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...
