Re: Samsung PN50A510 P3FXZA Plasma Cycling On/Off

I replaced mine tonight with the yellow Kemet one and have a success [URL="http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/T520B476M010ATE035/399-4981-1-ND/1129710"]http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/T520B476M010ATE035/399-4981-1-ND/1129710[/URL] . As hockey_!01 mentioned, it is slightly difficult to get the cap off but definitely used tweezers to gently pull up on it but not so much to risk pad damage. Also afraid of hitting R107 as it is super close to the side of the cap. I filed my soldering tip so that it was more flat...

Re: Samsung PN50A510 P3FXZA Plasma Cycling On/Off

The board in question is the main board which is the one on the lower right with all the inputs like HDMI, component video etc. The capacitor is on the reverse side (next to R107) so you have to unscrew ( and unlpug some connectors, and wiggle out) the board to see it. My part just came in and I'll be doing it this week. Good luck!...

Re: Samsung PN50A510 P3FXZA Plasma Cycling On/Off

I have a PN58A550S1FXZA that is exhibiting the issue at hand here. The P16230CT-ND is backordered at Digikey until Feb 23rd. I'm not sure if the TV will hold out that long as it's power cycling 3 times now. bkjeight has recommended that we can use a polymer type with a part number of 399-10532-1-ND. I'm concerned that his cap might be the wrong physical size and not fit the board properly. 0.138" L x 0.110" W (3.50mm x 2.80mm) vs 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). It looks different and long by comparison....

Re: Dell GX620

I am the network administrator of a 60 node network and Yes the ultra small form factor Optiplex GX 620's have a very high rate of failure. In October of 2008 I had about 40 + of 60 that were failing all in the same month. I had dell replace every one of them. During the replacement, there was an occasional bad board right out of the box. Don't they test these things? Occasionally they'll give you a bum board that never was retro fitted with the new caps. I had one go bad today. Sure enough it has the old style caps with the Y instead of the K design and it is le...
