    Matrix-hd7970-3gd5 death

    Hello, I have a VGA to put it on the PC, leaving it dead, will not start.

    I've found that I had a capacitor backwards, I placed well but still the same. Now I'm looking for a new capacitor to discard.

    Could have charged more?

    This is the photo of the capacitor appears backwards.




    Thanks

    It APPEARS backwards, but is it really? Check for markings on the board. And if it really was backwards, then somehting might be blown. Also, it might be a gpu issue. Those caps are polymers and probably al good, because the dont go bad very easily
    I can put text here?!

      its an asus board, motherboard or vga board, they mark everything on the positive side, so yes, it is backwards

      its actually a Functional Polymer, which stands a higher chance of dying than a full blown polymer in the case of a umm well just call it 'reverse polarity incident', actually I see a slight shadowing on the top which means it might have a slight bloat. Solids don't usually bloat they usually pop, but this is an FP and some of that pressure might of been released through the bottom

      its hard to tell what series it is, cause of the convoluted way nichicon marks the FP-CAP series, but its 270uf 16v, thats about all I can tell you

        I have been looking for a fuse but cant see one. However i notice that you have an excess of thermal paste -(use a rice grain size blob only) - anyway it is on several of the components and unless it is totally non conductive (electrical) it will be shorting them out.
        Clean off with Isopropyl alcohol.
        Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

          Also, what is the history of the board ? Was it recapped, stopped working, what else ?

            Even less will do the job, half or even a quarter (of size of rice grain) will be enough (at lest did job on CPU's)...

              PCE101 is soldered incorrectly. Look at all the other capacitors, that PCE101 is the only one backwards.
              After desoldering it, make sure it's not shorted before soldering it the right way. But you should just replace it with a new polymer capacitor instead.

              Get some isopropyl alcohol and remove the excess paste that touches those resistor networks near the gpu chip.

              Otherwise, there's nothing obviously broken on the card. Measure voltages on the capacitors when board runs and go from there.

                by Prolog
                Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
                (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

                If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                by chth96
                I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

                How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
                by chth96
                I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
                I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

                And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
                I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...

                Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
                by chth96
                When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


                Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
                But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.

                Should I replace polymer capacitor?
                by chth96
                a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
                I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
                Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
                Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
