    Question regarding which capacitors to use.

    I've been fixing TVs for about 4 months now and have always replaced capacitors with Panasonic FC or FM series.

    My question is what other brands/series are suitable?

    Re: Question regarding which capacitors to use.

    Low ESR series (High ripple, low impedance), depending where the capacitors are on the boards.

    Panasonic FM, FR,
    Nichicon HM or HN (discontinued), HW (new, 2014), maybe HE and PJ (but check for ripple and impedance first), PW for small uF values (chart here: http://nichicon-us.com/english/produ...ini/pict_f.htm )
    Nippon ChemiCon KZE,KZH, KY, KYA, LXZ, LXY ( chart here: )
    Rubycon ZL, ZLH, ZLJ, ZLK (capacitors chart here: http://www.rubycon.co.jp/en/catalog/...ducts_Eng.html )

        Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
        by sam_sam_sam
        I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

        This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

        After all of...

        After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
        by dragon3x
        Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
        power on.

        Here are some examples :

        (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
        switching supply area).
        (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
        than 6.3 V.)

        1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
        I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
        3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

        Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
        by Andre Gilbert
        Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing hereπŸ€”?
        Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

        AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?
        by slybunda
        hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
        it has inside:
        2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
        2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

        not heard of these brands are they any good?

        iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

        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...
