Re: XBOX 360 possible bad caps...
nice find. they can be a problem but not guaranteed. they are not filled with electrolyte but they fail due to manufacturing error which gets moisture inside them.
regarding the pics i removed the actual pic until mods discuss ongoing issue of pics from other sites. hotlinking does bring webmasters around to see who is hotlinking their pics.
post a link to the article as well for courtesy purposes.Comment

Since the 360's power supply is external, it is better than using a special "safety lead" with the original XBOX (It had no fuse -!- in the internal power supply!)My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Re: XBOX 360 possible bad caps...
i checked some of the pics around the net. i have seen two versions. One has Nichicon HZ(M), Chemicon and Fujitsu. The other has Rubycon MCZ instead of the Chemicon.
The probs with the xbox freezing now appear to be due to the external power supply overheating in cases. Once it is raised off the ground, the xbox is stable.

Re: XBOX 360 possible bad caps...
Who makes the P/S? Or did uSoft force the mfr to omit their name and logo? BTW, having one of those small 3-speed fans blowing on the P/S would probably be better than raising the P/S off the floor/table.Last edited by PeteS in CA; 11-27-2005, 10:34 AM.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

Re: XBOX 360 possible bad caps...
it is supposed to have 2 fans inside?? who knows who made it.
funny to see how much column inches the tech news sites got out of the size of the adapter. the console is pulling max 254 watts what did they expect.
get ready for the adaptor case mods............Comment

Re: XBOX 360 possible bad caps...
Well I just did a Google search, hoping to find a pic of the P/S. I was bemused by the almost childish whining on some gamer sites about its size. Are gamers unaware that you cannot pull 200W-250W out of thin air? Sheesh! Oh! And that na-a-a-asty fan! Better the game box should fry itself?!PeteS in CA

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:

Hi everyone,
I'm probably going to ask a very noob question but after many readings and videos I'm still unsure on the answer.
I've broken one of the caps around the gpu of an xbox 360 by overheating it. In the forum I've found this thread where the user had exactly my situation (same console version and same broken caps): https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24983
The difference is that I've broken only one of the Rubycon caps (or at least that's what I can tell from a visual inspection). Now I'm planning to use a solid capacitor as replacement,... -
i ordered a lot of caps from digikey to repair my xboxs. one thing i ordered was 50NXA10MEFC5X11-ND caps and i think they are not polarized. will this cause any kind of a problem? i really don't want to order new caps just because of this. -
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."

Hi -
I saw there was another post similar to this, but I do not believe he was referring to the same caps I am seeking.
These caps are in the “B” section of the board and the board is marked C9C11, C9C4, C988. The caps appear to be aluminum sheathed and are marked “FP 95 CD 271 16” The Digikey tech's best guess was Nichicon 16v 271 uf but I don't want a guess and solder in the wrong cap. Do any of you know exactly the value of these caps and a good replacement for them?...
