Hey guys. I should know this answer by now, but I dont... I have a TV that I am replacing the capacitors on. It needs a few 25V 680uf capacitors. I was digging around in my boxes of part boards and found a motherboard with capacitors that are 25V 680uf. Problem is, these capacitors are short and have a metal housing. Unlike the electrolytic capacitors I am used to replacing. My question is will these work as replacements or are they totally different? Thanks!

Re: Capacitor question!
Can you take a picture? Are you sure they're 25V and not 2.5 volts?"We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

OH snap!! Mockingbird good catch....I didnt see the "." it is 2.5V. Thanks!Comment

What do you think about replacing a 6.3V 3300uf with a 6.3V 2700uf?Comment

Re: Capacitor question!
Wouldn't do it... I've read that a slight increase in capacitance is ok, but not a decrease. You might be able to get away with it since a 2700uF cap might actually test at 3000+ uf. Don't take my word for it though. It also depends on what you're replacing with what. If you're going to use a general purpose 2700uF cap to replace a Low-ESR high ripple cap, I would say definitely no."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years.

Re: Capacitor question!
If you use a 2700uF cap instead it'd probably work but wear out the cap much fasterComment

Re: Capacitor question!
Its all gravy, I found some 6.3V 3300uf rubycons in a box..lol Thanks guys!
One more question, since this thread is already here. I have a XPS 600 MB that has an inductor that is fried...non salvageable. I can not find any like it. It is very small. Any ideas on how to get around that...maybe unwind a bigger one?Comment
