    MS-6168 Bad CHHSI Caps

    After years of operation, the old MS-6168 MoBo died in a backup Linux server, resetting randomly then completely failing to restart when powered up. Troubleshooting shows that the ATX power supply would power up for 1 second, then shuts down because of overload. Inspection shows that the caps [2,700 micF 6.3V 40degC] close to the ATX/CPU connectors are oozing and shorted: see enclosed pic. Other [1,000 micF 6.3V 40degC] caps located between to the PCI-slots and to the DMM slots have the same issues. All caps are branded "CHHSI". Hope this helps.

      Swap out the caps for some new low ESR units and it should work.

      What chipset is that? I've never seen a slot 1 board with a fan on its heatsink and what looks to be like SGRAM onboard.

      EDIT: WOAH! OK, so that's not the Northbridge I'm looking at....that's an onboard 3dfx Banshee!

          MICRO ATX ZX14 with an Intel 82443ZX AGP chipset

          The MoBo is also called MS-6168 MICRO ATX ZX14 with an Intel 82443ZX AGP chipset. It has an on-board 3Dfx Voodoo 3: AGP 2x with 16MB SGRAM up to 143MHz. It is aging, but I did repair it with new caps as I worked a lot in the past to make the Unix server (using the MS-6168) almost silent and green, thanks to fanless Slot1/PS and Wake-on-LAN.

              That would be a PackardBell thingy then. Replaced the 2700uF's with 2200uF (no 2700uF's in stock) and the 1000uF's with 1000uF, no issues, board runs normal and stable.
              failure is not an option. it is a chance to success.

                      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?...
