    MSI 694D ok to use 16v caps?

    Hi, i'm from Portugal and recently a friend gave me a server system that was not being used.

    It has a msi 694D pro v1 mobo, 2x p3 733, 1 gb ram, scsi card and 18gb hd.
    It was working fine until it started to reset itself, I thought it was the psu, but then searched in the net for this mobo, and found your forum.

    After reading your posts I confirmed that the 2700 caps are bulging and inflated.

    My doubt is if I can use the following caps for replacement:

    2700 6.3v -> 3300 16v
    1000 6.3v -> 1000 10v

    That's what I can find around here.

    Thank you for your support

      as long as they are high quality low esr and will fit.
      a 3300@16 panasonic fm is 12.5mm od
      your originals are 10mm

          Thank you for replying so soon.

          what about 2200 10v instead of the 3300 16v?

          is it possible to replace electrolit capacitors for solid capacitors?

          I'm an architect, I really don't know much of electronic values, but I like to learn by searching e experiment by myself.

              I liked experimenting with myself, but my wife told me I had to quit when we got married.

                  thanks... that was a very good explanation.

                  I really learned with your post.

                  Now I know who is the kid around here...

                          I've used 2200uF caps in place of the 2700uF caps many times, it has never caused any issues.

                          The biggest thing to remember on the 694D is the C390 mod.

                              Hi, I've replaced the 2700 uf 6.3v with 2200 uf 16v.

                              The system is stable, both cpus work fine - no more resets.

                              The C390 cap looks fine and is normally fitted - minus with minus.

                              If I replace it should I invert the polarity? It really seems to be ok.

                              Thank you for your help!

                                  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).

                                  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...

                                  Help with switching power supply caps
                                  by captain150
                                  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,...
