    The caps fail because they are Samwha, in my opinion, second worse cap manufacturer in world, only behind CapXon…

        I didn't see the fall. I just got it from a friend and I thought it would be fun to try and get it functional again. I'm an amateur, so I'm going to take small manageable steps for now and work up my skills and toolset to the point where I can keep up a bit better with you guys. I have taken MITx's 6.002 Circuits and Electronics course though. So I have some low level understanding. I'm interested in learning more. :-)

        I ordered the FR caps.

                Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                by momaka
                I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                by Paxman_Swede
                Hello!

                I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                I have studied the board and...

                Caps and how to find one to replace
                by edith
                Hello everyone I have a question. I have a laptop and his schematic. Can anyone tell me how to measure or any way to understand specific of caps so i can buy new one?

                Also in case how can I understand if some caps of some dead Mobo i have, are ok to be replaced in my new motherboard which im trying to fix?

                Thank you!

                Replacing electrolytic caps by solid caps on old motherboards
                by madscientist750
                I do have several old pc motherboards which i recapped 10 year ago and some of those caps are bulged now.
                I would like to upgrade them using solid capacitors. I do use them for testing and helping some alternative operating systems.
                I would like to ask if such an upgrade can be done, what should i have in mind when replacing electrolytic by solid caps and if such thing exist, if there are caps list for old motherboards. I would have to figure out what caps needs each motherboard and then prepare a list to try to ask for them on some electronics stores.

                Which caps to replace: ECS P4M800Pro-M V1.0A
                by Mattz_GT
                It's feeling like this board has a case of badcaps, instability and reboots - and not wanting to necro a a very old thread, it seems the 680uF 4V are highly suspect.
                I don't really want to blanket recap everything, but maybe the others around that area could do with being changed?

                Equipment: I have a temperature controlled soldering station, read the bit where it says set to 400F, don't think I would have gone that high without reading that.
                Spring plunger solder sucker, and some desolder braid... and a bit of good old leaded 60/40.

                PS. Additional diagnostic,...
