    Not only motherboards but...

    Not only motherboards have bad caps is right.

    Im sure your all familiar with the older Sony CCD-F77 series camcorders. WOW what a sight. All 100 or so caps were leaking and bad, I had to recap the entire unit.

    what made it even more fun, I couldnt find the SMD kits anymore with all teh replacement caps, so I had to use all radial caps. talk about a space hog. And to top the cake with the icing, about 20% of the caps, the pad came with it!!


    but not surprisingly, it works again.

              i cant give you pics, i dont have a digital camera anymore. it got stolen.

              I live in hamilton, or "hamiltucky", so that comes to no surprise around here.

                  trust me, you dont want to see pics of that. its a monstrosity.
                  I still have 3 left in the y-process section. 3.3uf, 10uf, and a .22 uf around the IC. i ran out of room, so I couldnt replace it. i can tell they are wasted, because when I record from the camera head, its got lines in it. kinda. (noise lines, like a bad rca cable would give). it records from the RCA jacks perfect now, and playsback perfect, and the camera's output is perfect. but it wont record properly, I know its those caps.


                  and to top it all off, when resoldering one cap in the record RF section i took an SMD resistor with it. and the pad

                  so I put a big resistor in there, and hot glued it. that VA board looks like a biiig mess, BUT it works!

                  I only had like 3 SMD caps that i pulled off of an old ps2 board.

                  the rest were radials i pulled from fairly recent computer cards. and I pulled about 30 10uf caps from an older sony surround reciever. all ESRd near perfect.

                                  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

                                  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?...
