    PNY GeForce Ti4200 Videocard Canicon leak? Replacement?



    Hi, this is my first post, I have a videocard with a capacitor that looks like it leaked and bloated. The card is crashing in windows because I think the capacitor has something to do with voltage regulation, the side of the card, specifically the corner it is in gets burning hot unlike anywhere else on the card and when it heats it, the video goes bad.

    This is the capacitor in question, can I find a replacement capacitor in any electronics store? What should I ask for? I can solder but I don't know much else about electronics.

    you will need to replace all like it.
    common problem.
    i used rubycon mbz series as i had some on hand.
    dont use the card till you recap as the vrm may fail.

      So I need to replace every cap on the board? What kind of caps should I use?

        any good Low ESR series should work well.
        The great capacitor showdown!

          Hi guys, thanks for the replies but I'm a bit of an electronics newbie when it comes to actual components and need a little extra help

          Could somebody tell me what I should be looking for when I goto an electronics store to purchase new capacitors? I'll look for the better brands according to this site, but what specifications or what exactly am I looking/asking for? I tried to do this once, but the guy at the counter wasn't exactly helpful and wouldn't help me unless I could tell him what I needed even though I brought the suspect part to him.

            where are you based?

            most electronic stores dont carry low esr caps but you may be lucky.

            there are many online sources
            https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=613

            if you are in the US or canada you can order from badcaps :
            http://www.badcaps.net

            here are some brands :

            Nichicon - PM, PW, HV, HD, HC, HE, HM, HN HZ (we do not recommend using HM or HN series presently due to early fails of those series.)
            Nippon Chemicon - NRSZ, NRSX, NRSY, NRSJ, NRSG
            NRSX is probably the best
            United Chemi-con - KZE, KZH
            KZE are used on many boards recently.
            Panasonic - FC, FM, FK, FA
            Panasonic FC are highly available and recommended.
            Rubycon - MBZ, MCZ, ZL, ZLG ZLH, ZA, YXH, YXG

              Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
              by reformatt
              Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

              It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

              Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
              by the_rem
              Hello guys,

              I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

              I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

              PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
              by ezenia
              Hello,

              Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

              So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

              I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

              Macbook pro logic board replacement parts quesion
              by boosti45
              i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

              klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
              by r2digital
              I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...
