    Mains filter - it was easy to find out why...

    ...it was not doing its job of filtering out mains noise.
    A bad Miniprint (by AEE or Rifa) X-class unit was found inside an Aegis CZ5000 mains filter.
    This cap, along with the two Y-class units were replaced and the problem was fixed - Miniprint and other clear epoxy encapsulated units are often problematic.

    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
      by momaka
      Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

      Bad mains power causing TV malfunctions?
      by chopduel
      Hi,
      I've been living in the same apartment for about 5 years now, and moved into it with my old Samsung plasma TV (PS51F5500).
      Ever since we've moved in, we would sometimes see strange power-cycling behavior. For example:
      • TV would randomly turn off then back on.
      • TV would turn off and the LED light would blink for a while (over a minute sometimes) until eventually it went back to a regular off state and could be turned on
      • Sometimes it would require disconnecting the mains cord from the TV, waiting several minutes, then putting it back in and turning the TV back on. This had limited

      Milwaukee M12-18FC fast battery charger - blown TOP268EG?
      by spleenharvester
      I bought 5 of these chargers as parts/not working from the same seller. Upon receipt all were dead and had blown or missing 3A fuses. Upon connecting to mains I find there is +330VDC across the filter cap and nothing past that point.

      TOP268EG is visibly scorched on all 5 units, with the scorch mark being between drain and source pins. Is this a common fault or have these chargers all been killed simultaneously by a power surge?

      Any ideas what else might be damaged? I am in the process of tracing a schematic for these parts

      Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
      by corrize
      Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
      It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
      I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
      I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?

      Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?
