    Another LCD Tv That did not go to the land fill

    The story about this TV

    It is a Emerson 19" with a DVD player model # LD195EM8

    The person who gave it to me said that one side of the picture would be red when you first turn ON then after awhile would be normal but it was getting worst and some it just stay on that one side

    I did even turn the set on I just start checking all of the caps
    The caps that had a value of 220uf and higher for the most part had a ESR reading that was normal

    However the caps that were below 220uf to 100uf those ESR reading were a on the high side compare to a new one

    The real problem was with caps that were from .47uf to 47uf these caps had a
    ESR value that was 10 to 20 times the value of a new one there was about 30 of them

    Here is an example of one them a new one had a reading of .34 ESR reading and old one had a reading of 5.0

    The main power cap and a few caps that was part of the sound circuit were not replace I for got to order them

    This LCD TV board was a real pain in the @ss to do because of the fact that there was so many caps to replace about 60 of them

    Now this LCD TV has a very good picture in fact I am watching right now and I also watched a DVD disk and it also worked very well

    I am not going to keep this TV set that I got from some one at work

    I am going to give to some one that I work with at work

    who has been some welding on my barbecue grill

      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:

      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
      by eryjus
      Hello,

      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

      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...

      Help with switching power supply caps
      by captain150
      I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
      I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

      Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
      by Foetuss
      Good evening

      I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
      Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

      But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
      Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
