I've recently opened my out of warranty test system Enlight PSU that has been reliable for over 2 years now. I was surprised to find TEAPO and Jepcon? caps all over the place inside. The PSU functions perfectly and the caps meter shows no wear on any of the caps. Was I lucky or is Teapo doing a better job these days? Do you think the PSU will fail sooner rather than later? Opinions anyone?

Re: Teapo Caps In Good Enlight PSU
my psu has them too, it is of one year duty.. no signs of problem (the rails is ok, no bulging caps). still i dont believe thut much in teapo caps... they (teapo corp) never admit that they have a problem while my abit and epox board have them and they are bad. the first step to identify the problem is to admit that you have a problem, but they (teapo) never admit it, so why should we trust them? in japanesse caps we trust
once i figured out how to dissamble this thing i`ll recapping them...

Re: Teapo Caps In Good Enlight PSU
most psu have teapo caps or some other non premium caps. probably cos they are all made oem in one of 3 big psu manufacturers in china.
i have been checking on some psus with teapo caps. look and work ok for a few years now. i think it is more of a concern the design of the psu.Comment

Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though.
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

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."

nichiconare what i used because i had heard the voltage doesn't matter as long as it is more than the original cap. i'm now reading that high voltage may make the cap's esr too high. is this a good cap for replacing those oem ones?1500 µF 16 V Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors Radial, Can 8mOhm 2000 Hrs @ 105°C -
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...
