Re: All replacement capacitors in iMac G5 PSU burned up
Yeh I had been wondering how best to attack that particular cap. Simply bending the heatsink had not occurred to me for some reason however.
After replacing 5 bad Nichicon caps on this iMac's motherboard, I'm confident in my tool setup. Picking out replacements for this PSU though, not so much. Complete list of caps appears to be as follows (dimensional tolerance +-0.5mm):
It appears as NWD originally did, buying all Nichicon replacements from Mouser, is the easiest as they have nearly all of these. Don't know if that is the best way to go or not though.
Also the 560uF/200V cap I couldn't really find anywhere. Was thinking of buying a Panasonic snap-in from DigiKey (P11615-ND) and just adding bigger leads (or even the old leads) to it.
