Wonder if this is the appropriate platform. I disconnected my VCR to be found that it could not be switched on again. Managed to replace 2 swollen caps 450v 2.2uF and 25v 1000uF. As I switched on the VCR, the power came through but lasted only for about 5 seconds followed by an explosion of a cap 50v 47uF. I was certain of the correct polarities. Moreover, the exploded cap was the original cap on the board. I replaced the exploded cap 50v 47uF but the same thing happened as I switched on the machine. I replaced the cap for the 2nd time. Again it exploded. Which is the culprit? Pls advise.

I'm guessing your caps are exploding because of too much voltage. Maybe a resistor failed? Do you have a multimeter to measure?--- begin sig file ---
If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.
We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.
Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

Re: Cap exploded in VCR power supply board
First of all after the first explosion you should have stopped. I am also assuming the two caps you replaced prior were installed with the proper continuity (follow the silkscreen on the board).
Check the rectifier supplying that cap as PB said if the diode is shorted and feeding AC to the cap it could be responsible for the instant explosion.
Also check the line cap it's top looks really bulged I've seen those cap tops bulbous before but the one looks a bit too inflated.
If may just be an insulator but the problem is those tops can hide a cap showing signs of failure.
Real smart engineering move are those wire wound resistors (on board space heaters) surrounding the line cap and the 2.2uf?Last edited by Krankshaft; 07-27-2010, 01:50 AM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Re: Cap exploded in VCR power supply board
Originally posted by PlainBillJust to the left of the exploding cap is what I believe to be a diode standing on end. Could you confirm that one end of it is connected to the transformer and the other end to the exploding cap? If that diode is shorted it could be responsible for the cap exploding. Use your multimeter to check the resistance of that diode. Check it twice, reversing the leads so you check it in both directions.

Check the secondary winding supplying caps line for a short.Last edited by Krankshaft; 07-27-2010, 03:03 AM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Re: Cap exploded in VCR power supply board
I would suspect a regulation problem. I would replace the small electrolytes near the switch (I suspect this is a 4 or 5 pin IC, right?). Replace those and start up the supply IN SERIES with a light bulb.Comment

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?by Tynan DillI was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

by sam_sam_samI did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow
This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

by m1ch43lzmHi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
by SoulzinkHi everyone,
I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel... -
by NicktronicHey everyone,
This power supply board is hard to find but there are repair kits available. This board had a blown fuse, FP801S, blown PFC MOSFET, QP802CS and ceramic cap, CP809. I replaced them with parts I already had and tested the rest of the parts that would've come in the repair kit and they were fine. I powered the board up on the bench expecting, in typical Samsung power supply board fashion, to see all my output voltages but, nothing. 0 volts on CNL801, CNM801 and CNT801. The only thing I have is 170vdc on the filter caps. No standby voltage either.
