  • PhotoVu PV1960 Digital Photo Frame,New Motherboard - Domed Caps?

    I'm working on another PhotoVu PV1960 Digital Photo Frame. More detailed info of what they are on this previous thread…

    [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=39421[/url]

    This one needed a new picoPSU that plugs into the Via Epia ML6000EA Mini-ITX motherboard. Looking over the board before replacing the PSU, I noticed this domed cap next to it. I have seen this cap (Nichicon 10V 1500f) domed in previous PhotoVu frames I've repaired and always replace them with a matching Panasonic FR. This is what I plan to do with this frame too.

    While...

  • Another Problematic PhotoVu Digital Photo Frame

    Hello again,

    I'm in possession of another problematic 19" PhotoVu Digital Picture Frame, but this one is a 2007 PV1965 (Generation Two). I'm still pretty much a newb with electronics, but feel a bit more confident after successfully repairing the first one (thanks to all your help).

    CURRENT SYMPTOMS:

    Before this frame finally completely died, it exhibited the following symptoms for a few days prior … would boot-up but the LCD would only display the default photos stored...

    goontron, selldoor & budm,

    Many thanks for all your help. The new capacitors arrived yesterday and I installed them this morning (first time ever installing capacitors). All is well with the photo frame as it powered up right away and has been running for the past three hours. I was even able to download and install the latest software PhotoVu had available before they ceased operations.

    For the price of a new power brick ($12), 10 capacitors w/ shipping ($8), and some invaluable Badcaps.net Forum...

    I was wondering about that too. Actually thought something may have leaked. What is the best (safest) method to remove that glue?

    The replacement power adapter is:

    #AD-1250B (INPUT - 100-240VAC 0.8A 50-60Hg, OUTPUT - 12V - 4.17A)

    Thanks for looking things over!...

    Hey guys, thanks for the tips. Sorry about the length on the post, but I just wanted to get all the info out there in as much detail as possible. It's either… "God Is In The Details" or "The Devil In The Details. Oh well!

    Two quick follow-up questions…

    (1) As long as my replacement capacitors are the same uf, V, temperature, dimensions and lead spacing, do I need to worry that they are not labeled "RM"? Most of my replacement capacitors (Nichicon) are printed with...

  • PhotoVu PV1960 Digital Frame Flashing Blue Light

    Hello,

    I'm asking for some help getting a 2006 PhotoVu PV1960 Digital Picture Frame up and running again. I'm pretty much a newb with electronics, but am not afraid to tinker when provided with good direction or instruction. I've provided as much information as I can in hopes of answering a lot of the initial questions and have attached some photos. I can provide more specific photos if requested.

    BACKGROUND:
    PhotoVu manufactured high-end ($1500) digital picture frames from 2004 until they ceased production in 2010. Their web site (PhotoVu.com) is still up...

    Greeting All,

    I'm pretty much a newb with electronics, but a common-sense quick learner that likes to tinker. I joined this board to help me revive a 10 year-old PhotoVu PV1940 Digital Photo Frame. I will start a new thread regarding this project after my introduction. Looking forward to being a member of this board. Thanks in advance and take care!

    Jim
