    APC RS 800 capacitor issue?

    Hello all!

    I have 2 of the APC RS 800 units which I have purchased new batteries for but the UPS's show overload with 90 watts connected when going to battery power. It also shows the unit is charging and the % of charge is slowly dropping when it is on AC line power.

    I have search all over using google (which is how I found you folks) trying to figure out if it is a capacitor issue.

    The PCB is a 640-0189D and all the capacitors look normal with no swelling or leaking.

    Where is the charging capacitor? I have also read where it may be the inverter capacitor?

    My wife is not very happy with me having 2 UPS in pieces in the living room so any help would be great!

    Thanks!

      TCL 43s405 4k TV only runs on lower power mode. Sound like a capacitor issue?
      by link626
      I've gone through 2 of these power supply boards.
      Same issue on both. If I use TV at full brightness, full power, the screen will start blinking; go black once every 2 seconds.
      It was fine for months before exhibiting this issue.


      If I lower the brightness, and run it in low power mode, the blinking stops.

      Attached photo below is the board.


      Do you think this blinking is a capacitor issue?

      These are all HEC brand cheapo caps, except the 82uF which is YST brand.
      I cannot find spec sheets.

      If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
      by chth96
      I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
      Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
      It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
      So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
      I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

      How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
      by chth96
      I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
      I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

      And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
      I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...

      MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
      by rounin
      Hi everyone,

      I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

      🛠 Original Issue
      The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
      Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

      I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

      ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

      Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
      by chth96
      When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


      Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
      But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
      Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...
