    need suggestion on caps for dead AcBel/HP 5188-7520

    I got a "free", dead HP Pavilion Slimline Pc. The AcBel PC6012 / HP 5188-7520 PSU has 7 bloated caps and I want to replace them to see if this will get the PSU working for further diagnosis or just up and running.
    It's got:
    6 - Ltec 1000uf 10v LYZ 105c caps
    1 - Ltec 1000uf 16v LYZ 105c cap

    What should I replace these with? This will be my first PSU cap redo.

    I looked at these but need some advise;
    Panasonic eeu-fm1a102L - 10v (x6)
    Panasonic eeu-fm1c102 - 16v (x1)

    Those look like some good choices, actually

    Just don't forget to change all the small(er) caps too, "just in case".

        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:

        HP Elitebook 845 G8 dead, only caps lock flashing 7 times. Charging light always on
        by esqmooo
        Hello everyone.

        This is my development machine. I've been using it since two years and half without any problem except sometimes it wouldn't wake up from sleep.
        Lately the issue became more frequent and powering it up would take few seconds to show the POST screen.
        Then the computer refuses to power on at all. Now only the caps lock button flashes 7 times then stops. The charging light is always on whenever a power source is connected (battery or charger).
        I tried long pressing on the power button, after several seconds it would go off then when the button is released...

        Help with switching power supply caps
        by captain150
        I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
        I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

        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?...

        Replacing electrolytic caps by solid caps on old motherboards
        by madscientist750
        I do have several old pc motherboards which i recapped 10 year ago and some of those caps are bulged now.
        I would like to upgrade them using solid capacitors. I do use them for testing and helping some alternative operating systems.
        I would like to ask if such an upgrade can be done, what should i have in mind when replacing electrolytic by solid caps and if such thing exist, if there are caps list for old motherboards. I would have to figure out what caps needs each motherboard and then prepare a list to try to ask for them on some electronics stores.
