Recently about 5 capacitors on my XFX 8600GT popped and I'm planning on replacing them. I read that I should replace FZ brand capacitors and any other capacitor with a vent on top. I've already picked out replacement capacitors for the FZ brand, but I'm unsure of the other brands and whether they need to be replaced or not. I don't want to have to deal with another capacitor replacement if I can help it. When I get home, I can upload a photo of my card if you are unfamiliar with my particular model.

Re: XFX 8600GT Recapping
Pics would be good. It's quite common for manufacturers to use different caps on boards of the same model. I've seen some gigabyte boards covered in nichicon while other boards of the same model with sanyo.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

Re: XFX 8600GT Recapping
make the fz go bye-bye-- when they blow, the are the most violent in the world of bad caps (they sound like grenades and shoot their guts everywhere, a nasty mess to clean up).
some pics and cap values? this might be a good one to do a poly mod on...sigpic

Dear reader
I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.
At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:
3 x 470uF 10VDC
3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
4 x 47uF 50VDC
8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
power on.
Here are some examples :
(N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
switching supply area).
(N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
than 6.3 V.)
1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA... -
(TLDR: It was capacitor C6519 [Koshin KZH 50V22uF] and C6515 [Koshin KZH 25V47uF] on the power supply. I have questions at the end)
Disclaimer: I'm an amateur hobbyist and will get things wrong.
Always use caution when working around mains power and high voltage capacitors!
Hey guys, I'm repairing a Denon AVR X6400h for my brother. It quit powering on after a power outage. It acted like this last time there was an outage, but after letting it sit overnight it started working again for a few years. This time letting it sit did not bring it back.

Hey Everyone,
Long time lurker, but I think this is my first time posting.
Just looking for some assistance on identifying some suitable replacement capacitors for an MSI K7T266 Pro (Ver. 1.0). I just got my hands on two of them actually, both working but one has some visibly bulging capacitors and the other has a few that I can't tell for sure if they're bulging because it's faint at best if they are.
I'll be honest I don't fully understand much on capacitor spec sheets beyond voltage and capacitance but I can solder like nobodies business so I've... -
Hi,
I'd like to recap some of my old mainboards (they are from 1998) before switching them on again for the first time after many years in storage. All caps still look good from the outside.
There are three mainboards:
- ASUS P5A rev 1.04
- ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Rubycon"
- ASUS P2B-S rev 1.03 "Chemi-Con"
If you are interested in their specs, The Retro Web has pages for the P5A and the P2B-S.
They all have many 1000uF 6.3V 105°C capacitors. But there are some differences I cannot figure out.
P5A
