    MSI K7T266 Pro bad caps

    Hi guys,

    After one month of continuous problems with my PC someone tipped me on this site and the possibility of bad caps. So I just found out that my 3 yr old MSI K7T266 Pro has got 8 bad caps (4 popped with electrolyte coming out from the top and 4 clearly blown). Thought I post it here just for statistics sake.

    The included photo shows one of the blown caps (sorry for the bad quality but I had to take it with my mobile)

      I gave MSI a call, to see if they could supply me some new capacitors to try to repair it myself. To my big surprise they were very helpfull and after I provided them a copy of the invoice proving that I really paid for this MB they have sent me without costs 20 new capacitors so that I can try to repair it.
      Time to practise my soldering skills again

          what brand are the new caps? If they are of known crap brand then expect to do this same thing in about a year or less.
          The great capacitor showdown!

                  Asus UX490U laptop blown (caps?) on power board.
                  by odtech
                  Greetings friends.

                  I was given this nice little laptop and would like to revive it if possible but i'm stuck identifying blown components. I'm very new to the repair game so i'm proceeding very cautiously.

                  I don't know the history of this laptop and the donator didn't elaborate what happened but it seems some moisture got into the USB C charge port and the result was what looks like some blown caps. The tell is some gunk inside the USB C port and corrosion on the outside as well as what looks like corrosion around the blown components.

                  Any guidance...

                  HP Probook 640 G5 - replaced blown components, getting power led, fan full, 5-flashes on CAPS Lock and NUM lock, black screen
                  by zlr8r
                  Hey guys, bit stumped with this laptop after replacing 2 blown components i.e., MP86493, MP2979A.

                  To begin with, this laptop was dead-dead.

                  Now with replaced (visibly) blown components, i do get some progress; after connecting battery or main cable;
                  • am getting white power led
                  • 5-long-flashes on CAPS Lock and NUM lock
                  • then, fan full speed
                  • CPU heats up some (smaller die PCH, does not)
                  • always constant black screen no matter what's tried
                  • no USB recognition
                  • no HDMI output
                  this is as far as I can get with it and not sure where to inspect next ?

                  I tried...

                  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."
                  ...

                  1070 - Blown SMD caps, short on 12V PCI
                  by whc14765
                  Hey
                  I got a short on 3 pins of the PCI-E gold connector for 12V.
                  I see a few caps near the top right (near main power connector) that look blown, one is showing a short across it to GND.

                  Unforunately I don't have a schematic or board view for it (EVGA GTX 1070 FTW 8GB).



                  Due to the large number of caps there, I think it may just be decoupling.

                  Any ideas on figuring out the cap values? There also isn't any reference numbers for the caps on the silkscreen.

                  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,...
