    Re: Need advice on good replacement caps.

    Look at the FM and FR datasheets...

    In almost all cases, FR offers a different dimension, sometimes smaller in height, sometimes in width, sometimes wider in diameter at the sacrifice of more height...

      Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
      by the_rem
      Hello guys,

      I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

      I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

      Replacement for the Siemens Bakelite caps in an early 1980s SMPS
      by rewease
      Hi everyone,

      There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.

      Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.

      Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...

      Replacement caps ok? (smoothing caps, PSU heating controller)
      by HectoPascal
      Hallo,
      i want to replace two smoothing caps from a heating controller PSU. They are probably 30 years old and it might be time to replace them.

      SXE 470uF 63V 105°C (tested: 472uF 0.35Ohm) --> Nichicon VY 105°C - 463uF 0.15Ohm
      SXE 470uF 25V 105°C (tested: 422uF 0.63Ohm) --> Samwha K5A 85°C - 446uF 0.10Ohm (or Panasonic RAD FC 470/25 8mm)

      I couldn't find anything about 'SXE'. That's the only declaration on the caps. Edit: The top/bottom ident says Nippon CC.
      Nichicon should be 'VY' series (linked).
      I couldn't find anything about Samwha...

      Sony OLED XBR-65A8G 4 flashes
      by Glaval
      Hello, my Aunt recently gave me her broken Sony XBR-65A8G OLED after getting a replacement. It had a 4x led flash error, a replacement T-con didn't fix the error but with helpful info from this forum I found one of the smd ceramic caps on the panel pcb (C575/C378) on a 24v line was shorted to ground. I removed that cap and the tv turned on without error. It still had a black screen with the original t-con back in it, once I put the replacement t-con in it finally had a picture. After doing a panel refresh it had a very good picture but with a few vertical lines for some scenes. For owners with...

      HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
      by momaka
      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...
