    Topower TOP-420P4(420PII)

    Has multiple bad caps. We don't think this unit has many hours on it... But nonetheless, the caps are definately dead.

    I see two 3300uf 10v, one 2200uf 10v, and one 2200uf 16v, plus one I can't see the value on, and two small caps that look like they're bulged and cracked.

    I don't think I'm going to be able to recap this unit because the components are too close together. Pics will be coming later in the day, both here and in the PSU build quality pictorial thread.

    Thanks,

    dood

              I know... and I just don't think i'd be able to manage a recap with how close the caps are to the other stuff. Just not enough room to get my fingers in there.

                  Sounds like the fun I had with my CWT 420W I did yesterday. Some of the caps in there were much the same way... I had to be very careful with my needle nose pliers, but I finally managed to replace the important caps. One Panasonic FM was too tall and I had to bend the secondary heatsink slightly.

                  Had any of the more inaccessible ones needed doing, I would have been out of luck. Could have done it with a single layer PCB, the needle nose pliers, and my Soldapult to desolder them, but this was a dual layer nightmare.

                      Recapping will be easy if you remove the heatsink completely. I've done it many times - but for replacing a bad component on it, not for recapping.

                          Repair of an LG split AC system indoor unit PCB
                          by ngml
                          I am trying to repair an LG split AC indoor unit, which does not start and gives a CH05 error code.
                          This indicates an error in the communication between the outdoor and the indoor unit.
                          The outdoor unit is fine, so the problem is the indoor PCB.
                          The indoor unit is an LG PC09SQ NSJ (3SNM09JA2FA), and the PCB has the following type number: EAX35907219-1.2 (see photo1)
                          I changed optocouplers ICO1X & ICO2X and the NPN transistor S9013 which drives optocoupler ICO2X (see photo2), but this did not remedy the fault.

                          Does anybody have the schematics of this board,...

                          Garage door RX unit (Cardin S38C) does not short relay to send opening signal
                          by CoinCoin88
                          Hello everyone,

                          I'm turning to the Badcaps community to help me troubleshoot the radio Rx card from my (old) garage door opener. While I could just ditch that card and replace the whole system, I first would like to understand "why" it suddenly stopped working, because that's just how I am wired...!

                          Some basics: the receiver works on a 30.875 Mhz frequency. Yes, I'm aware this is not in use anymore in a looot of places. It does not use any rolling code, it's just a regular dip-switch code that you have to set up on both the receiver and transmitter. The receiver...

                          Unit runs but no speaker output kenwood KR-6030
                          by DrDos
                          I have finished my work. The new lights come on except the one for stereo, I reversed the bulbs to no affect, anyway, the unit powers on, relay clicks. I have no DC voltage in speaker outputs, I also do not have any AC in the speaker outputs. There is some faint crackling in the speaker. This unit cranks up loud so I had the volume on very low. Everything seems to be fine but I can't really check the switch until I can get sound out of the outputs. I was going to do caps for the power supplys and the tone board but thought if it was cranking loud at one time maybe just leave it alone until it...

                          Bose Companion 5 - Unit Powers On then Cuts Off Shortly After
                          by nobbnobb1
                          Hi guys,

                          Trying to salvage a Bose Companion 5 computer speaker system that powers off shortly after powering on. It's got a primary USB input (built in DAC) and an aux 3.5mm input. The USB appears to be the primarily source that tells the unit to power on (control pod LED goes green) as the unit has no power switch.

                          When I first connect power to the unit, plug in the USB, it will play audio nicely for a minute before it drops out and the unit appears to go into standby (control pod LED goes red). It stays in standby and I cannot seem to power it back on without physically...

                          Air-conditioning unit power supply failing to power up
                          by Gjackson
                          Hi all, I managed to narrow down which PCB was causing my Haier AC to throw out an E7 error code (E7 indicates that the indoor unit and outdoor unit cannot communicate). I found that the outdoor unit power board which gives 5v and 15v to the outdoor unit module board fails to fully power up.. The power Led starts to fade in incredibly slowly and the 5v and 15v power buses jump around like crazy and never reach their required voltage. I unplugged the module board from the power board and the power board powered up fine! It had a steady 5v and 15v out and the power LED came on instantly and Bright....
