Re: Dell XPS Gen 5 Bad Caps

Thanks All,

I ordered the Nichicon 2200uF 6.3v Ultra Low ESR Electrolytic Capacitors. I'll post back after I replace them.

Thanks yy,

Last question, Mockingbird referenced Samxon for the Nichicon 2200 6.3. I found Nichicon ones here [url]https://www.badcaps.net/store/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=137[/url].
Why pick one over the other? Aside from the price that is? .61ea vs .89eaRe: Dell XPS Gen 5 Bad Caps<br /> <...br /> Why pick

Re: Dell XPS Gen 5 Bad Caps

Thanks Mockingbird,

Good catch on the Rubycons! My eyes are not what they used to be.

Question, the Brown Caps are KZE, not KZG, I thought I read that the KZE were okay? The other ones that I was concerned with were Nichicon 3300uF 6.3V (Magenta arrows new Image), and a LXZ 3300uF 10V(Green Arrow).

Again Thanks....

Hello,

I have a Dell XPS Gen 5, GC068.
Symptoms - Random BSoD, Freezing, & Lockup.
I opened the case and I found a nice surprise.

2 Nichicon 2200uF, 6.3V, HN(M),H0516, 105°C Caps barfing! (highlighted Yellow in images) There are also 2 Nichicon 1000uF, 10V,MCZ,T0528, 105°C Caps that look fine. (highlighted Blue or is it cyan?) most of the caps are Nichicon but are Black w/ White text. There are only 4 of the Black & Gold. I am also posting images of the CPU Caps, Brown KZE 1600uF, 16V & Yellow 560uF, 4V w/ F mark.
It would appear...
