    Have you scope the voltage on those caps? Would be interesting to see if the caps really did get 50v spikes. Reason I'm wondering is because I might recap mine as well.
    A long time ago, with a friend's scope, and the spikes were very narrow. Here's the PSU (1uF, 50V caps can be seen in lower right):

        Since that photo was taken, another 3-4 caps have bulged, and the PSU hasn't been used.

            How well does it run it's ratings?

                Can't say for sure since each unit is somewhat different from the next.
                Probably better than most generic power supplies. Primary heatsink is pretty thick too, so that must be helping it. Older LP6100 units also have a TO-247 switcher (which has bigger case size than TO-220) hence better heat dissipation. Still, I wouldn't expect more than 350 watts continuous.

                Not sure how important those 1uF caps are, but I definitely hope the 2.2uF one next to the PWM IC and the 47uF 25v VSB-critical one aren't getting the spikes too - those are important.
                By the way, what supervisory chip does your unit use? Writing looks a bit different from what I have. Can't find a datasheet for mine either.

                    Awwww... that 5 VSB transformer is so tiny and cute!!!

                    I've seen PWM feedback isolation transformers that were bigger.

                    Maybe it's 350 watts peak?
                    Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

                        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).

                        https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                        It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                        Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                        by eryjus
                        Hello,

                        First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                        I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                        I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                        ...

                        Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                        by Paxman_Swede
                        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...

                        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?...
