Yet another MSI with bad caps. The originals were GLUXON. I replaced (qty of 8 ) 1500uF 10v and (qty of 11) 1000uF 6.3v caps. A guy send a big box full of these to recap for him, removed from workstations on a network.

No new P4s for the workforce now, they will be stuck on 815e for years now after recapping.
You see the very little caps in the second photograph which are to the left of the battery. Larger versions of these caps i see on video cards. Is there any special thing about these caps or just cosmetic - can we expect the larger ones to vent in the usual way.
Can we see the recapping please? -
Nope, no P4's and upgrades for those office employees...
The P3 lives on!!
Here ya go:

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... -
Hey all, I am in the process of putting together a "vintage" Pentium III system and picked up a QDI socket 370 motherboard.
The individual I bought it from said it's in excellent working condition, but since I'm still in the process of collecting some necessary parts, I haven't had a chance to try to get it to post yet.
I noticed that some of the caps around the socket appear to be either leaking or maybe just dirty (they're near where the heatsink/fan is) but I can't tell for certain. The caps are not bulging whatsoever and are as flat as could possibly... -
I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
