      I can't believe how old this tread is, but I have yet another example (although admittedly, this one is still within tolerance). Seriously, guys, Be Honest in future!

      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

        What's the date code on it? It could have legitimately lost uF, but yeah, it is still BH and we know the integrity of HV caps

          That is still in spec. And these caps often show lower capacity on my ESR Micro, even quite new japanese caps. I would be cautious if it showed 700 uF…

            NCC KZE 16V 2200UF 10x25
            Is this capacitor real?
            That size doesn't exist in the KZE datasheet.

            I'm searching a replacement for Teapo SC 16v 2200uf (10x30).
            Its for my PSU, cannot fit 12.5

              It may be custom cap, which would be believable if he provided that information, photos of bung and top of the casing and also correct specifications. Which he does not - most of the specification is lacking and the stated endurance of 2000 hours is wrong - KZE in D10 has 4000.

              I can supply you with genuine custom Samxon RS 3300/16 D10x30 mm (slightly higher ESR) or Chemi-Con KZN 3300/16 D10x40 mm (much lower ESR&higher ripple current, endurance 10000 hours @temperature and ripple). Check the list.

              Or if you wait about a week or two, I should finally get KYB 2200/16 D10x30 mm (lower ESR&higher RC, 10000 hours).

                Thanks for the offer, I'll think about it.
                I'm in no hurry for it though.

                I have the same old dead PSU like this one
                https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20722

                Its damn heavy.
                And it served me well for 5 years.

                  Hipro is it? Mostly very good units, though the older ones have worse efficiency for todays standards.

                    Yes, Cooler Master 430W (RS-430-PMSR) made by Hipro (HP-D3057F3R).

                      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                      by eryjus
                      Hello,

                      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

                      Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                      by momaka
                      I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                      For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                      It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                      by Paxman_Swede
                      Hello!

                      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                      I have studied the board and...

                      Fake Caps in Xbox 360
                      by Galraedia
                      I decided to take one of the Rubycon capacitors out of a phat Xbox 360 with a Zephyr motherboard and noticed that all the Rubycon capacitors near the CPU were fake. The capacitors in question are Rubycon MFZ 680uf 6.3V and they all have a bullseye bottom, something not found in genuine Rubycon capacitors. None of them were leaking, they all have the K top, and the system has never been opened before. It appears Microsoft was using fake capacitors in the Xbox 360, or the Chinese facility where the console was manufactured in was using them and passing them off a genuine. Just thought I'd share...

                      Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                      by Foetuss
                      Good evening

                      I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                      Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                      But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                      Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
