    ECS K7S5A Pro

    I have an ECS K7S5A Pro. Next to the CPU are 9 3300uf 6.3v OST RLX caps; 4 of those show visual signs of failure. The rest of the caps are G-Luxons and look great. My first question is how can i go about getting replacements for all 9 Osts and what would be the best manufacturer to go with. Second is..how reliable are G-Luxon caps? Thanks

    Re: ECS K7S5A Pro

    If you go to the trouble to repair the board, then you should replace the G-Luxons. Those aren't a very reliable brand.

    Re: What and where to buy replacements, it would take a while to go through that here, but it's all explained in the FAQ section.

      Yup - replace all the G-Luxons. They have a reputation for drying up and failing silently without any bulging or venting.

        My first question is how can i go about getting replacements for all 9 Osts
        It's highly suggested to replace also those g-luxon caps...

        OST RLX at 3300uF 6.3v 10mm is:
        • impedance : 0.014 ohm
        • permissible ripple current : 2780 mArms


        Replacement that match or exceed the spec for OST RLX caps could be:
        • Rubycon MBZ, MCZ
        • Panasonic FJ
        • Chemi-con KZG (no longer recommended on this forum due to some failure report), KZJ
        • Sanyo WG

        But anyone here can add their recommendation caps to that list...

        days are so short when you actually do something..

          Gemcon capacitor replacements?
          by slybunda
          taken from my thread about car alarm siren here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...rm-siren-issue

          there are 2 caps which im looking to get replacements for.
          Branded as Gemcon
          single 100uf 16v 6.5mm x 11.5mm
          single 100uf 50v 8mm x 11.5mm
          lead spacing is around 3mm

          there is space for 16mm tall caps

          rs components is good place for me to go since its close by, what replacements do you suggest and do these need to be low esr?
          the caps have...

          Xbox 360 Xenon Modern Capacitor Replacements
          by burom
          I found my old Xbox 360 in storage and opened it up to see if there was anything that broke since it was built in 2006 (launch era Xenon revision, never red ringed, never been serviced) and didn't want to find out by releasing magic smoke. Upon moving the dust bunnies out of the way I was greeted by a bunch of capacitors with crud coming out of the top; it doesn't seem to have leaked onto the board so at least I have that going for me.

          I'm posting here because I want to try to source replacement caps myself from Mouser or Digikey instead of braving eBay or waiting for places to have...

          Help me decide which MOSFETs are suitable replacements
          by прямо
          Friends,

          I need help. I'm having a bit of difficulty in deciding what would be the compatible replacement for these MagnaChip N-Channel Trench MOSFETs on a VRM circuit because they seem to have a much faster switching times compared to most N-Channel Trench MOSFETs out there that have the same (more or less) current rating and Rds(on)

          MDD1502 (high side), 48.5A 7.8mOhm
          MDD1501 (low side, 2 in parallel), 67A 5.6mOhm

          VGS is 10V High side drain is 12V. Low side drain is from PWM controller (Richtek RT8120A) phase output 1V.

          Here are the ones...

          Looking for best replacements for Capxons, but can't find data sheets
          by withalligators
          Recapping the power supply board for a Samsung 305T monitor, everything is Capxon except 2 Rubycons. I can't find data sheets matching these online, so don't know what ripple numbers, impedence, etc, to look for. There are a few different looking GL series data sheet PDFs, but the listing that matches the capacitance and voltage is a much bigger case size. I've narrowed down selections with lead spacing and case diameter, and what's in stock at Digi-key

          1 x Capxon 1000uf35v GL C720(is this a part number or batch number, can't find it anywhere) 105c

          1 x Capxon 1000uf35v...

          Dell Latitude 5530: damaged USB (type A) ports, cannot find replacements
          by DrFalken
          Hello,
          Yesterday a customer brought us a Latitude 5530 with 2 damaged USB ports (type A).
          The ports are made by Singatron and, checking the measurements and soldering points, the model should be this one: https://www.singatron.com.tw/en/product/file/280177-1
          I checked at RS, TME, Farnell but I didn't find this model
          Where can I find them? Something compatible is also fine...

          Thanks!!​
