    i can't find any of the good caps

    I have Intel D848PMB. I noticed 5 caps beside the processor are Bulging.
    the 5 caps were "LCZ" 820uf 6.3v
    I searched the market for new caps I only could find "CHOYO" which is known for bad caps.
    How much can this bad caps last ?!

    Well, they can last for at least a few months. You can buy a ton, and recap the board as they fail. You could be lucky and they wouldn't fail (I have a Slot 1 board full of I.Q. caps and none have failed). They haven't been seen often anymore.

    If you're in the USA or Canada, you can buy Rubycon or Samxon caps from Topcat. Anywhere else in the world, Big Pope here sells Samxon caps.

      Can't find exact matching caps for replacements, what should I get to prevent video issues?
      by SluggerB
      I have an old Tivo. The Power Supplies are known to have caps that fail. Here are the caps that come with the original power supply:



      I could not find replacement caps with the exact same specs. I followed an online guide and recapped the power supply with caps with these specs



      The power supply now works, however the HDMI video is giving me eye strain. I don't know how a capacitor on a Power supply could impact an HDMI video signal, but it does, the Tivo interface has a flicker now and the color/brightness is off. So I want to get some new caps...

      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...

      HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
      by momaka
      Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

      Casing Power MPT-301 [PCB ATX9806b-p REV: A3]
      by momaka
      This one should make @Pentium4 smile (if he is still reading BCN forums) – I got a new old stock / open box Casing Power MPT-301 PSU on eBay for $4 total.


      Yes, it’s a very generic-looking box, but the manufacturer isn’t (at least not back in the days), which is…

      Macron Power Technology Co. LTD.

      Let’s look at the PSU itself.



      The shell/case also appears quite generic, like many “sold-with-the-PC-case” units. However, the shell is well-formed and has decent steel thickness. In terms of...

      are these caps good for replacing the ones in front of the cpu/gpu on an original xbox?

      are what​ i used because i had heard the voltage doesn't matter as long as it is more than the original cap. i'm now reading that high voltage may make the cap's esr too high. is this a good cap for replacing those oem ones?
