    different cap values

    Hi everyone
    just finished fixing a dead philips 37" 37PFL5332D LCD tv that took a power surge, just some caps on the power supply board and a fuse and both main caps on the inverter board, but as I was searching for parts on ebay i saw an ad the said an 820 uF cap could be used in place of the 670 uF ones that were blown, so i did that and it works fine, but i hear a sound from the inverters that is almost like how high tension lines sound, only less power going through but that same kind of sound. I never heard the tv before it blew so maybe this is normal, it is not overly loud, just very quite in the basement where i was working and I haven't hooked up the satelitte to it yet but I get full function ; menu's etc. What effect does the increased cap value have on the inverter board?could i go even higher value than 820 from the original 670? just wondering as I have some brand new samxon caps that are 1000's and wondered if i used them the power sound might diminish a bit.
    Here is a pic, sorry about resolution, digital camera is next on the fix list, the 2 big brown caps are the replacements and are 820's replacing the 670's, the auto fuse is temporary until my fuses arrive
    Thanks

    Changing uF is only okay if the circuit is not frequency sensitive.
    Most experienced people would recommend not to in an Inverter.
    .
    That said:
    680uF to 820uF isn't a huge change. It's essentially within 20% and uF goes down as caps age.
    A little humming noise is normal from transformers.
    It is also louder when the parts aren't closed up in the casing.
    .
    If it's so loud it's annoying then find the correct 680uF caps.
    If not [and the screen works okay] then don't worry about it.

        what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
        by ChaosLegionnaire
        so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

        i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

        Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
        by proxneo
        Dear reader

        I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

        At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

        3 x 470uF 10VDC
        3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
        4 x 47uF 50VDC
        8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
        1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
        5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

        Which...

        Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
        by Christos Tsiligiannis
        Hello to the forum.

        My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

        So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

        To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

        So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
