Re: Hannspree HSG1074

What drives me mad, is that the capacitors replaced are estetically perfect, also if you check them to read not only the capacity, but also other parameters.
i.e. C237, should be 680uF, 35V after checking I found 700uF,Vloss=0,5% ESR=2,5 Ohm.
I can't consider it as a faulty cap.
What should I do? replace them all on the PCB, regardless their function/position, in the hope I can find the right one?
In the same way the old-school technician repaired old style tube tv sets replacing all the tubes inside?

Hi Max!
I were seeking for this *Precious info* and I've found it here!
It worked also for me!!!!
My PSU is now back and kicking!
Ihad the problem that this PSU become *weak* and ec4 was the culprit!
But, differently from you, NONE of the capacitors where bloated or leaking... NO EXTERNAL sign could address me to this tiny capacitor....
I also analized it and....Nothing was really wrong with it...only the internal resistance was 3 ohms, ther one I changed has 2,2 ohms .... boh!
Anyway THANKS!!
