    Digitrex GK-1020 DVD Player

    A few weeks back, I got a Digitrex (made by the same guys of the Apex and Hiteker units) GK-1020 DVD player from a junkyard for a song. When I opened it, I saw a few bulging capacitors (CD263 series). I then decided to replace the electrolytics with Nippon Chemi-Con SXE Series, except for C6, this being a Nippon Chemi-Con KMG Series.

    I also upgraded the capacitors as a good measure, as shown below, board space permitting:

    C18, C25 (47uF 16V) - 470uF 25V
    C20, C24 (470uF 16V) - 1000uF 16V
    C27 (220uF 16V) - 1000uF 16V
    C15, C16 (220uF 16V) - 470uF 25V
    C7 (47uF 50V) - 100uF 50V

    After replacing the electrolytics, the player now works perfectly.

    I don't know the brand of electrolytic capacitor pictured, but there was a "DM" brand capacitor for the HV unit, as for the Wintel Win1X I recently fixed.

    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.
