    Cap replacement for plasma TV

    I recently picked up a 2006 Samsung plasma TV for free. Plugged it in and and had some RGB-colored snow on part of the screen. Did some research and found out a popped capacitor could be the cause. Took it apart and found the bad cap on the PCB located on the left hand side of the TV (looking from the rear). It is a Samwha 50V 100ųF PT capacitor. I purchased a Samwha 50V 100ųF RG capacitor as a replacement which has the same dimensions. My question is, will this replacement capacitor work as I am kind of unclear as to what the PT and RG indicates. Thank you.

    Not sure about the "PT & RT" probably what series they are. Did find another thread about them but really not too much info.

    As long as it is the same value/voltage rating or higher than what you took out it should be good.

    Hope that help

      Title:
      Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

      Description:
      During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
      I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

      Procedure performed:
      - Removed backplate
      - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
      - Reapplied thermal compound
      - Reassembled card

      Observed behavior after reassembly:
      - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

      Where can I get compatible capacitor for replacement?
      by artvandalai
      Blew the capacitor on my analytical balance scale using the wrong power adapter. I need help finding a replacement compatible capacitor to buy. Will any 100uf 40v capacitor work as a replacement?

      klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
      by r2digital
      I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...

      Discontinued Capacitor looking for Replacement
      by rwkish
      Capacitor has been discontinued (EGXF101ELL331MM20S) all of the replacements I have found have are smaller than 0.709" Dia (18.00mm). I would like to use the same size or at least close to the same size Capacitor. 19mm would be too big as they would touch and not be able to through hole mount. Tia...

      Replacement capacitor options please?
      by Hylax
      Hi, I'm super new to this capacitor stuff but I've some basic soldering experience with old cellphones PCBs and headphones. I have this APAQ AR5K 820∆μF 3V Dc Capacitor from a motherboard that I'm looking to replace, photos I've attached. But I'm unable to find a 3V one like I've marked in the spec sheet in red (This is the one currently present in the motherboard). But the 6.3V one I can find (marked in blue) is of similar dimensions but different specs as mentioned in the table. Is it okay to replace it with higher voltage cap, slightly higher ESR, slightly lower ripple current, and double...
