    new Sparkle cap brand

    I was at the local shop today shooting the breeze when UPS showed up to drop off a dozen Sparkle ATX-300GT (lowest model 'cept for the Power Q). We popped one open, ALL OST caps, including the beer cans. An Arclight shone through the grills of a couple others showed us the same thing. I guess the folks at FSP are rolling the dice with OST on this run instead of Fuhjyyu.

    OST is I'd say a tiny bit better than Fuhjyyu.

        My 600W came with Capxon and OST - tried to find some replacements already for the 3 OST caps, but struck out at Digikey. I'm a little worried as one is jammed up against a heatsink, but since this PSU is supposed to be 80% efficient or better I guess I'll run it as is for as long as I can and just inspect it for cap problems every few months.

            I don't get the significance of an arclight? I use a mini-maglight :p

              I didn't know the difference either until I started buying Surefire and Streamlight flashlights. I picked up an Arc last year to carry in my pocket. Big difference in brightness.

                BEST 505 Vs Mechanic Brand Reballing Balls with Lead
                by Stanley1843
                Hello,
                has anyone use these Brands of solder balls? The brand BEST writes on the label of the jar the specs of the solder balls instead of the Mechanic brand. I beleive that BEST brand must be more professional (in labeling at least) but I have never try one of them so I would like your opinion. By the way I hardly can I find the Mechanic brand in aliexpress (the only where I found was lead free solder balls) and on ebay these that I found are approximately15USD per jar. If you know any other trusted brand of solder balls please tell me.

                Philips 58PUS7805/12 showed no picture; after T-Con replacement, shows halo
                by Rauni
                Hello, this is my first post on this forum, and my first attempted to repair a TV.

                My Philips 58PUS7805/12 stopped working recently. It is not that old, about 5 years. We were on a trip for a few days and when we came back, it had stopped working out of a blue (Perhaps our house was hit by a lightning strike? Don't know.)

                Read from a guide that I should test if the screen shows picture with one of the T-Con cables disconnected. Did that, it showed perfect picture (first on left, later on right side).

                Read also that we should test what happens if we...
