    Shuttle G2 and M1000

    Hi! I've been a customer of badcaps.net in the past - he repaired and ARQ-1 MP3 player for me that's been going good now for years. Anyway, I also have a collection of Shuttle machines - 3 X100's, an M2000, an old SB65G2 and an M1000.

    The last 2 are broke. The G2 has a bad power supply again. I pulled the cover off and there are 2 bulging caps so I ordered another but plan on repairing this one as well.

    The M1000 has several bulging caps on the motherboard, I'll eventually pull the system board out and send it here.

    I like the G2, M1000 and M2000 because they are designed for multi-media and hi-fi systems - they put out very little RF interference. The G2 is especially nice and has an mAudio PCI audio card. That thing is quiet and doesn't have any noise at all. The x100's on the other hand do not have those qualities.

    After looking around the website, I'm surprised that the bad caps problem is still going on - sure the older electronics have these problems, but new electronics are still plagued by this!?

      Depending on the brands of the capacitors, yes, they still can be plagued by this (crappy caps will always show up here and there). So, what brands are they? Pictures?

          The bad caps in the G2 Power Supply are OST brand 2200uf 16v +/- 20% 10mmx24mm with RLS/105C/0802 on the side - I think the 0802 means manufactured February 2008. Gold lettering. I ordered Rubycon replacements for these and can replace them myself. The G2 system board has all OST caps from 2003, when I bought it. Surprisingly, they all look good and this thing has been running almost constantly since I bought it.

          For the M1000 which was made in 2005, the system board caps are all OST brand and I see at least 3 that have puffed out on top. The internal power supply for this one is not modular and has exposed components with Rubycon caps. I only ran the M1000 for 3 years before it crapped out. Later bought the M2000 so it sat on the shelf, but I think it's worth it to get it working again.

              you're more likely to find OST's in power supplies these days, esp shuttle

              I believe the G2 uses a flex atx PSU, though don't quote me on it, they do look alike

                  Well the good news is I got the G2 running again. I swapped out the 2 obviously bad caps in the power supply and got the same results - the computer would power up for 1/2 sec and that was it. There's something else wrong with it. But! I also ordered a new power supply for $48 that arrived today as well. It works well. I'll save the old power supply for some other time.

                  Now to pull the M1000 system board and send it in for a recap and all my Shuttles will be working again.

                      Uh, about the power supply ... the new one works fine? Trash the old one since it didn't work...

                          Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                          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).

                          https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

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

                          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,...

                          Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                          by Foetuss
                          Good evening

                          I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                          Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                          But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                          Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
