    Jet Way with bad caps.

    Well, if I didn't learn my lesson the first time.....

    This isn't quite in response to my first thread, as this is a completely different motherboard......kind of.

    I had a previous issue with a Machspeed board with the thread here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ight=machspeed

    I got the same model motherboard from Jet Way. So I have 2 PCs running this model motherboard, although the "brand name" is different. however, the issues I'm having are also completely the same. I'm going to push more on getting this board replaced by the manufacturer, but if they don't, you can count on me adding quite a bit more to this thread. I will add pictures as soon as I can, though. I just haven't had a chance to take them. Maybe tomorrow.

      Re: Jet Way with bad caps.

      Sorry for the delay in getting the pics.

      Here are the boards side by side.

      Can you tell the difference? Other than color, the ONLY difference is the BIOS. The stock BIOS for the MS, came with v5, while the JW came with v6.1. However, I updated the flash on the MS to 6.1, meaning they are still the same board. The MS was boasting OC capabilities, yet the JW had the exact same capability. Just a rebrand of the same board.

      Anyway, here are the bad Caps on the JW board.

      If you checked out my MS thread, you'll notice they are the exact same position of caps to blow. An old bowling instructor of mine, years ago, said if you throw the ball in the same place twice, you won't score anything the second time around."

      I got the RMA, but they are charging me $10 for return postage. Some 1 year warranty. Many other companies I've used ship it back without charge, as part of the warranty service.

      We'll see how this goes, and what it looks like when it's returned.

              These are the Nichicon HD knockoffs in appearance only - nowhere close in quality.

                  They are pretty crappy capacitors. They are the only ones that seem to fail on these boards.

                  Through personal use, I've found that the board is quite stable.....EXCEPT...once these capacitors blow. It's a shame, these really are good boards. That's what you get when you try to cut costs.

                      It's not worth returning it becuase they will probably send you a board with the same crap caps. And chances are (like 100%) that even the new motherboard will fail. So just recap it instead and be done with it. Make sure to replace every FZ cap, though (maybe except for the really small ones).

                          That's part of the whole reason why I am returning this board. I want to see what they'll actually do. Your prediction is about the same as mine. If it is, I'll be sure to post about it. I'm really not happy with the company for the customer service and the quality of materials. I'm hoping to at least get more info on their practices and allow people to realize they are just a crappy company overall and to just avoid their products.

                                      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).

                                      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."
                                      ...

                                      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...

                                      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?...
