    they are general purposse caps sadly so i dont know if i would use them some day
    Yes, those won't be good for any switching and high-frequency stuff. They might be just okay for a linear / line transformer DC adapter or breadboard projects.

        PS5 | CFI-1215A | EDM-030 | Stuck In Safe Mode 99% Processing
        by grimacelord
        Hello,

        I have a CFI-1215A PS5 (EDM-030 board) here that won't boot normally. It currently will immediately boot into Safe Mode upon power button press with a screen that says "Processing" and then a progress bar that usually begins around 75-84% and slowly climbs up to 99% where it will hang forever. The console will not ever escape past the 99% mark.

        Things I have tried:

        1. Tried force booting into Safe Mode by pressing and holding power button for 2 beeps so I could use a reinstallation USB, but the console still boots into Safe Mode with the...

        Would this be safe?
        by SluggerB
        I am trying to fix a broken plasma TV by replacing a large cap on the power board. It is a 1900uf 220v cap and I could only find one place that sells them. It was listed as through hole, so I bought it. It showed up today, but instead of through hole, it has spade connectors.


        Would it be safe to get some heavy duty wire (like lamp cord wire), connect that to spade connectors, connect them to the spades on the cap, and run the other ends of the wire 2-3 inches to the holes and then through the holes and solder them in place? I actually did it already and put it together but...

        Making a Handskit hot air station a bit less stupid
        by spleenharvester
        I bought one of these as it was the only one I could find that is compact enough to fit in my toolbox (though I've since found KSGER make a substantially safer looking one). It's one of those fan-in-handle things that has the 230V element in the handle. Quecoo briefly sold a similar unit but discontinued it.. maybe they couldn't find solutions to these problems. I'm aware these fan-in-handle things are garbage compared to a good air pump station but I only really use this for occasional QFN work etc.

        I did not realise at the time of buying that its design is... interesting, to say...

        Beginner, practicing to unsolder on a lead free xbox 360 board, it is hell.
        by Eh546
        Don't hesitate to tell me what i do wrong and if you have any tips and tricks, because i want to learn and improve.

        I have a 60w iron that can go up to 450c, cone tip, i usually set it at 400. I applied flux on solder, tinning the tip then applying new lead solder to the joint so that it can mix with the lead free and lower the melting point, then i tried to suck up the melted solder with the solder sucker. But that didn't work since the lead solder doesn't seems to mix with the lead free one. I also tried applying flux to a wick and the board, then tinning the tip of the iron and...
