    DirecTiVo Power Supply Caps

    New here...

    I've got a few DirecTV Phillips DSR704 TiVo's that have failing power supplies, so I'm at the point of replacing all the electrolytic caps - but am not sure what to order for replacements. Below are the original supply values (all are 105deg):

    C9 - 47uf / 50V (Teapo SEK)
    C14 - 2200uf / 10V (Ltec LZG)
    C15 / C20 /C42 - 470uf / 10V (Ltec LZG)
    C17 - 2200uf / 10V (Ltec LZG)
    C18 - 2200uf / 16V (Teapo SC)
    C23 - 470uf / 50V (Ltec LZG)
    C26 - 47uf / 63V (Teapo SEK)
    C27 - 1uf / 50V (Teapo SEK)
    C29 - 10uf / 50V (Teapo SEK)
    C34 / C35 - 2.2uf / 50V (Ltec) - unknown series (tiny black cap with gold banding and lettering)

    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    If Panasonic caps meet your requirements, follow PlainBill's instructions at

      you need to add the diameter of each cap if they are tight together.

        Re: DirecTiVo Power Supply Caps

        I was going to go back and add dimensions but it was past the time to edit. Unless I'm missing something it looks like the Nichicon PW series caps will work for all of them (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Although not sure about C34/35 as I'm not sure what series those are to begin with.

        The ones that I've selected that seem to be a best match:

        C9 - 47uf / 50V (Teapo SEK) - 6mm x 12mm : UPW1H470MED
        C14 - 2200uf / 10V (Ltec LZG) - 13mm x 20mm : UPW1A222MHD
        C15 / C20 / C42 - 470uf / 10V (Ltec LZG) - 8mm x 12mm : UPW1A471MPD
        C17 - 2200uf / 10V (Ltec LZG) - 10mm x 30mm : UPW1A222MPD6
        C18 - 2200uf / 16V (Teapo SC) - 13mm x 25mm : UPW1C222MHD
        C23 - 470uf / 25V (Ltec LZG) - 10mm x 16mm : UPW1E471MPD
        C26 - 47uf / 63V (Teapo SEK) - 8mm x 12mm : UPW1J470MPD
        C27 - 1uf / 50V (Teapo SEK) - 5mm x 12mm : UPW1H010MDD
        C29 - 10uf / 50V (Teapo SEK) - 5mm x 12mm : UPW1H100MDD1TD

        C34/35 don't have a series on the cap, but I'm guessing since all the Ltec caps in the original supply are LZG series that the PW series would be fine for them as well.

        C34 / C35 - 2.2uf / 50V (Ltec) - 4mm x 6mm : UPW1H2R2MDD

        These are a bit bigger but where they are located, should have plenty of room.

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

          Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
          by shamsudeen
          Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
          I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

          i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....

          Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
          by CMCM
          Hello Everybody,

          Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

          Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

          The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

          The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

          The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
