    Urgent help on capacitor fix

    I recently fixed my Toshiba A300 using 4x SMD Tantalum Capacitors 330uf 2.5v
    and its still going great.

    So I got out my other A300 and decided to do the same fix, WITH BIG PROBLEMS.

    When I turn the Laptop on it fires up initially with only a black screen then about 20 seconds later it turns off. HELP

    So I've taken the caps off, on the mother borad I tested the + & - with a meter and the ohms reading is 0.00, IS THIS NORMAL

    What should I do now, I tested the caps the meter reading starts out with a low reading then rises to about 19.8 the decreases, IS THIS A GOOD SIGN?

    PLEASE WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?????

      sounds like a bodged BIOS update to me....
      Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

      Excuse me while i do something dangerous


      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        0.00 ESR reading on a capacitor
        by Fuzzy Fix
        Howdy all I have a 90uF Capacitor 200/275 VRMS and measured the ESR . Reading says 00.3 Ohms and about 1/2 a second later 00,0 and says low ESR (Really No Kidding).
        I have checked it on the multimeter and reading is 94.7uF well within soec as ir has a 25% tolerance on it.
        Can anyone advise me is this capacitor likely to fail in the near future or still good to use.

        RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
        by Prolog
        Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

        I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

        I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
        (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

        I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

        If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
        by chth96
        I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
        Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
        It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
        So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
        I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
