    some news on Sacon/GSC/Evercon

    well.. some sort-of-news here.
    the crapcap family of GSC got new members
    now it's:

    GSC = Evercon = Sacon = Capsun (yet another new name) = COMET (ditto for this one) (= Samwha = SamYoung = Lelon to some extent)

    Samwha seems to be related to GSC since around 2002-2003
    Sam Young has outsourced production to Evercon (= GSC).
    Lelon OC-CON Polymers = Evercon CP-CON (= GSC)

      Nothing new here.

      The rabbit hole runs a bit deeper.

      Now the question is, red pill or blue pill?

          Sacon FZ revival experiment
          by momaka
          So after using capacitor bungs to repair the rubber feet on two laptops, shown here:
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...&postcount=548
          … and here:
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...&postcount=585
          … I was inevitably left with some paper rolls and cans from the Sacon FZ capacitors I “sacrificed”.

          The paper rolls from these Sacon FZ caps looked absolutely bone-dry. The idea then occurred to me: what if I put a few drops of water on there? How (if at all) would that affect these already-failed capacitors?...

          NVidia bumpgate
          by piernov
          Just archiving everything related to bumpgate since most stuff has disappeared from Google. Maybe people will finally take the time to read some of it and stop shouting "reflow gpu" at every occasion but rather try to understand what the real issue is…
          Interesting parts about the failure analysis are "Why Nvidia's chips are defective" and "Why Nvidia's duff chips are due to shoddy engineering"


          May complete this post at a later date with more details.
          Basically issue is a combination of thermal dissipation of the chip with hotspot,...

          XFX GeForce 6800 XT AGP [PV-T42K-UDE3] – recapping and mods
          by momaka
          Aaaaand… we have more retro-PC nostalgia repairs again.
          This time it's with a XFX GeForce 6800 XT AGP video card. The XFX model number is PV-T42K-UDE3.

          As with many early XFX cards, crap caps are the main issue here. The first one I bought and recapped was back in 2017. I've been meaning to post about it for a long time, but never got around to it due to the card needing a better heatsink/cooler to test it fully with the recap (more on that later on.) In the meantime, I acquired a 2nd one of these cards not too long ago (February.) Not like this makes any difference. Both...

          samwha? in Samsung...
          by eccerr0r
          I have an old apfc psu in a Samsung TV using Samwha WL-series capacitors. By inspection they are obviously dead. Oddly enough the other caps in the TV seem okay. Samwha appears to be a dubious manufacturer but are they? Their WL datasheet seems like they did do something to rate the capacitors but nevertheless they failed first, spectacularly.

          As a proof of concept fix I'm tempted to replace them (two parallel 82uF 450V low esr) with two *series* 470uF 230V general purpose capacitors...

          Should last an hour at least to prove the rest of the TV works, no?
          ...

          samwha capacitors 10uf 200v/250v
          by Perry Babin
          The attached capacitors are used in the output filters of class D amplifiers and hold up well but when they fail, replacements are difficult to find. I've tried the various options on eBay and crossover caps and none survived. Mouser, Digi-key... don't stock many bi-polar electrolytic caps. The only thing that I found survived (never a failure) was the Mouser E2106 (part number 667-ECQ-E2106JF) and the same from Digi-key. They look different but survive. Does anyone know a readily available drop-in replacement electrolytic? The dimensions are approximately 16mm x 25mm....
