Re: My new Seasonic has questionable caps.
just on JG OW articule
the caps were from what I could tell at a quick look at the article
Fuhjyyu (is it TMR ?) Neopower 480W
Capxon on the other FSP600-80GLC
I think both got Chemi-Cons KZE and KY
Thats an interesting point you make bonez
if these had a higher ESR lower ripple....
I was "assuming" the replacement were of better specs then those replaced
which sort of didn't make sense....
anyway no guru here
cheers

Re: My new Seasonic has questionable caps.
I think KZE is ok, but the KY are from my point of view not the ones, i would have put in there.
My favourite would have been Panasonic FM, Rubycon ZLH, Samxon RS or GD or Pany FC.
Sure, apart from the ripple measurement, the Antec from OW is working fine, and it would probably make no difference in real world usage.Comment

Re: My new Seasonic has questionable caps.
I think so: the graphs have a V/Div value of 0.01 instead of jonnyguru's usual 0.05, so they are emphasized 5 times. As OklahomaWolf stated in the forum, the recapped units have a ripple value still under Atx recommendations, so they aren't bad, only worse than before when speaking to ripple and [a lot] better when speaking of reliability.Originally posted by gonzo0815

Re: My new Seasonic has questionable caps.
Well, I finally got time to recap the dumb thing. Unfortunately my ISP is being
today, so I'll upload the pics when I can. Right now it works about 1/3 of the time, and goes about 1/100th of the normal speed. They'll probably stumble in there hung over tomorrow morning and flip the switch or something to fix it.
Stupid wireless internet.
Edit: Oh, and the power supply does work well after the recap.A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.Comment

What you're looking at is a mix of Panasonic FC, FM, and Samxon GD and RS.A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.Comment

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:

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... -
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,... -
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?... -
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.
