Hi folks... I was given some spot on advice about a year ago in these forums- and to my amazement, I sucessfully repaired my Samsung monitor by replacing three caps. It was my first try and I think my soldering was pretty poor... but it works!
Now I have what looks to be an easier job, but I am seeking advice about which caps to purchase (from RS-Online).
What I want to do is replace some very suspect looking caps on a little board inside my (undeniably cheap) Blu:Sens TDT/DVD unit. Without this I have no telly: which means an unhappy baby in the house!
Anyway the board seems to be made by San Ji Electronics and has various numbers on it including 2005/10/14, GL-001-A1, 94V-0 and E168172. Probably the board itself isn't that important as it's the caps I need to replace.
They seem to be aluminium through hole types. One says 400v 22μF plus SW CD110 is 20mm high approx 12mm dia and the other 10v 2200μF SW CD288 20mm high approx 9mm dia I'm fairly sure the capacitance reads μF not uF but the tail on the left is very short (pretty much the same as the tail on the right).
I'm not experienced in these things, obviously.. and looking at the options available on the RS-Online site I have no idea which Ripple Current I should choose- they have a wide range of mA options.
Advice would be great please...
