ive been given a panasonic tc32lx60 which to get working only needed the main power supply filter cap changed and two fuses. its a 2006 model with probably beaucoup hours on it, want to recap the whole set as its got only about 30 e caps in it. i went ahead and wrote up a cap values list but i wasnt sure about the types of ecaps that were used. in my audio experience a low impedance cap is used in filter or bypass applications. a low leakage is used in the signal path , theres a variety of types in the set and the nichicons i can figure out but theres some rubycons that were green that im not familiar with. i also have NO video repair experience, does some kind soul have a quick and dirty answer? and does anyone know anything about converting these older sets with cfl's to led's?

Re: low leakage or low impedance caps?
ESR Very Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
Ideal for Power Supplies- High ripple and current capability -

would nichicon uhe and upw fill the bill?Comment

Re: low leakage or low impedance caps?
well thank you kindly any of you fellas doing led conversions? im not planning on it as this thing still works at present but will if backlights fail. no cfls here that i can find.the factory service manual is ratcrap as well with no board schematics and they even left out the cfl driver board!! and its a hobby anyway.what impressed me about this set is the build quality in the era bpc (black plastic excrement) and i think its worth keeping around.Comment

Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Howdy folks,
I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth... -
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... -
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:

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,...
