      I just noticed that the OST cap has a T-shaped vent. Is it fake?

            I can't make out a T vent but OST should be replaced anyway, doesn't matter much if it's fake, it's crap either way..

              Re: Antec Phantom 500 power supply

              Look at the second to last image in post 8. The OST and the green Teapos appear to be shorter than the Fuhjyyus in the image you posted.

              It is strange to see thermal pads between the primary caps and the case.

              At least this power supply has one good cap.

                Wtf was going on in Antec's mind when they picked Fuhjyyu as a choice for capacitor?

                Well atleast they don't do too much of that anymore...

                    Alas, we still have units with OST and other junk. Woohoo. But you really have to be buying rock bottom Antec to get that junk.

                      They still use them in earthwatts and SU series units. not top end, but not rock bottom.

                        Not in Basiq? I think theyre in there too...or maybe that's just Teapo.

                            I haven't seen OST in Earthwatts [I don't think] but lots of LTEC and some Taicon.

                            Haven't seen a Basiq at all but as I recall from reading they use mostly CapXon and maybe OST.

                            [Note: I'm on my first cupp'a coffee. Still have brain fog.]

                            All the Smart Powers and the various 'True'-whatevers plus about everything else they made during that time were Fuhjyyu happy builds.
                            - All the CWT built units.

                            They switched to Seasonic as their builder for a while but the Seasonic-Antecs got OST and Capxon.

                            Then they switched to Delta and those get LTEC and Taicon.

                            They made something [at least for a while] they claimed was all Jap caps but it was so far over priced you'd have to be on crack to think it was a good deal.

                            -
                            This Antec Phantom 500 is one of the older CWT builds as evidenced by the markings on the PCB in one of the photos.

                                  Not trying to revive an old thread but I'm going to buy some capacitors and re-cap a Antec Phantom 500, and was wondering if you can help me with what caps to use on this PSU.

                                  I have decided to use Panasonic's FK,FM and FC series of capacitors as that's what available on Farnell's site

                                  Here's what I'm going to use:

                                  10 MUcon MX(M) 3300uF 6.3V 10x25
                                  (Recap=Panasonic (EEUFK0J332L) FK 3300uF 6.3v 10x30)

                                  7 Mucon MX(M) 3300uF 16V 10x30
                                  (Recap=Panasonic (EEUFK1C332L) FK 3300uF 6.3v 12.5x30)
                                  Can't find 10mm ones

                                  1 Mucon LQ(M) 680uF 25V 10x15

                                    I cracked open an Earthwatts EA-380 today.
                                    First Earthwatts I've seen that small.
                                    It's 100% OST except for the big input cap.
                                    It's got some screwy sizes too.
                                    .
                                    But the EA380 is a Seasonic and the EA380D a Delta!

                                      Those should do fine.
                                      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                                        Thanks you for the confirmation, now I don't feel so nervous about dropping £200 on components.

                                            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.

                                            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...

                                            Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                                            by JimBanville
                                            The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                                            Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                                            I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                                            I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...

                                            Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair

                                            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...
