    Fixed Sceptre U435CV-U Another bad cap from poor cooling

    39uF 160V cap bulging (see pic). Replaced (temporarily with one thats too tall for the space) and fixed.

    But root problem is once again high heat density (18mm between board and back cover). Combined single board main+PSU and no fan.

    While shopping for Nichicon replacement, all 10k hr @ 105C was 17.5mm height which barely clears the rear case. Failed cap was 13mm tall with much fewer choices.

    Seeing so many newer TVs die by heat (BGAs etc) Need to figure out an easy way to mount fans

          Samsung R530 Bremen motherboard cooling
          by Ace Perception
          Hi,
          I'm wondering if anybody out there has much knowledge of Samsung Bremen motherboards.
          I've got a Samsung R530 which is about 10 years old, over the last 12 months it developed a worsening problem where when asked to do much work it would shut itself down. I had a good idea this was due to overheating which was confirmed by a temperature monitor programme which showed little balls of fire next to the various internal temperature readings. I could also prevent it shutting down if I placed a huge fan running at full speed in front of its air intake!
          So I went in pursuit of...

          HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
          by momaka
          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...

          Liquid cooling?
          by Hondaman
          I hope my computer does not randomly reboot while typing this. My main system is the AsRock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard with the AMD 8150 chip. I am experiencing FREQUENT and RANDOM reboots once the system is used for a couple of hours (sometimes it reboots before I even get to the Win7/Linux Mint dual-boot screen). The problem MIGHT be the DRAM controller chip (I recently upgraded to the maximum 64 GB RAM). It also might be the VRM chips. I am using a typical aftermarket CPU cooler, which does NOT blow air DOWN onto the VRM heat sink.

          (After previous generation hardware [Gigabyte] didn't...

          Sceptre 48" TV backlight LED`s
          by spirittoo
          Trying to fix a backlight problem with a Sceptre 48" TV.

          I found replacement strips with the same part number as the strips in the Sceptre, but the new backlight strips have 5 leds per strip and the ones in the tv has 6.

          So I decided to replace the leds instead. I found 3 bad ones. I had no problem removing the bad ones with a heat gun, they came right out. However the leds on the replacement strip would not come out with heat. I use my solder iron as well, they will not come off.

          Anyone know how I can remove those leds without damaging them?

          Sceptre X505BV, blue LED, no display
          by tom_h
          Hello all,

          I have a Sceptre X505BV-FMDR8HJ1PE8 tv that had been gradually over time taking longer
          and longer to come on, now it will no longer display any image. Original symptoms
          are the red standby LED would turn to blue immediately when pressing the power on
          button, but there would be a delay for the "SCEPTRE" image to appear on the screen
          and backlight to come on. The delay kept getting longer, then it would go from blue
          LED back to red. Then when I pressed the power on button again it would bring the
          display up and work fine....
