    694D Pro - never powered up, bad caps?

    Spotted this one on ebay:
    "Selling a NEW, NEVER USED MSI 694D Pro Motherboard." "Although this board was never put in service since I purchased it, upon close inspection, I found one capacitor on borad shows sign of leaking."

    Think he's lying about it never being used, or is it a leaky cap straight from the factory? would put chhsi even higher on my list of crap caps...

      It's definitely been used. The internal heating is what causes the cap to swell up (pressure cooker theory). Had it not been used, the caps wouldn't have swollen. They could definitely still be bad, especially being chhsi, but wouldn't have swollen.

      The seller lied.

          i have seen boards that were new in a factory sealed box with leaking caps(gigabyte tuallie duallie) but never bulging.
          gotta run it for a while to get them to bulge.
          got a link?
          if cheap its may still be worth grabbing.

                      Asked him if he was sure it was new... "After I purchased the board, I did put a CPU in and burn the board for about 2 hours on bench just to make sure it works. Then I put in away and never use it. That is why I am suprised to see one capacitor leaks on bottom when I exam it. And yes, some capacitors show signs of pop-up on top, but it is very slight and they are leaking."

                      I don't need another 694d, so not planning on bidding on it.

                          oh so you confirm you are wasting peoples time eh?

                          confirmed it is not new then.

                              even if it's not new... 2 hours to leak... heh. then again, chhsi doesn't surprise me anymore.

                              And let me re-word that... I don't need another 694d for that price. can't afford it.

                                      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...

                                      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?...
