Just re-capped my VP6 and all is good. :)

08-19-2004, 10:16 AM

To get a complete set of caps for my VP6 would have cost me AU$40+ p/h . But i came up with a better idea.

I had an old Abit KG7-RAID that was always a bit unstable so i replaced it. So i used the caps from there. Nice and FREE!

I just replaced 8x 1500uF 6.3V caps. Targetting the ones that looked buffy. (I would have done more, but the KG7-RAID only had 9 and i broke one). And now it's all working.

So basically I took 2 dead motherboards and now have 1 fully working one.

Glad that it worked for ya... I'd just use that as temporary measures while you hunt down some good caps to replace all. If you harvested caps from a flaky Abit to fix another flaky abit, I don't hold out much faith in long-term stability.

What brand were the caps you harvested from the other abit?

Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture

by Mgiffune

I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and...

Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?

by the_rem

Hello guys,

I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump

by cook

Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

Thanks
