    Arion AW-8700 series - bad Luxon LU

    I bought this unit from a local junk shop (was used by a defunct provider, SelecTV, and was rebadged SD-2000S for the provider), and upon opening it, C14 (1000uF 16V Luxon LU, on the 7.5V rail, which is also connected to a 5V regulator near the tuners) on the power supply board was bulging and bringing down this rail, subsequently causing unreliable reception.
    Replacing this capacitor (along with the others) fixed this problem.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      There's something about those oddball rails - replaced a Samxon GF on the 8v rail in my digital cable box last year, because it stopped receiving some stations. And yes that rail was feeding a 5v reg as well. I can see a pattern.

          Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
          by Nagy Daniel
          Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

          I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

          I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

          So, I generated a table with AI so I can...
