Re: Need help to identify a capacitor please.
Hey thanks Stj,
I have a 22uf@6.3v that I can replace it with. I think that will be fine?
It's from a Super Famicom game, Marvelous: Mōhitotsu no Takarajima マーヴェラス ～もうひとつの宝島
Regarded as a pretty good game. If you're a gamer you should check it out.
If you don't mind, can you tell me how you know the values of the cap so I can apply that method for the next time?
Thanks for the help!...Leave a comment:

Need help to identify a capacitor please.
I have another cap on one of my video game PCBs that I'm not sure what it is.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Here is a picture of it:

First of all, thank you very much Diif!
Second, would you mind telling me how you know that? That way next time I can apply your methods and not keep bothering people on here lolLeave a comment:

Please help me identify the value of this capacitor on my SNES game.
Hey all. This cap is on my Super Mario RPG game cart and I'm not sure how to identify it. On Google I'm not getting results that seem to match up to the look of my cap.
Here are some pictures:

Re: Polymer caps and retro video games
Thanks for the update guys.
I've heard on several occasions about retro capacitors leaking and drying up on these 30-40 year old consoles but from what your saying it sounds as though that only should be happening if the capacitor is of a lower build quality.
I think my final question is, if you were in my position and you were looking to replace old faulty caps with ones that you felt would last a very long time, what type and brand would you personally go with for the games and consoles?
Thank...Leave a comment:

Re: Polymer caps and retro video games
Hey thanks for the reply Stj.
That makes sense about the audio circuits and the PSU needing electrolytics.
Is there an explanation somewhere about why over 470uF doesn't need polymers? I ask because I've seen a few posts from people that have done recap jobs using polymers for caps with much lower ratings so I'm wondering why.

Polymer caps and retro video games
Hello everyone!
I've been doing my best to educate myself on poly caps and when you should/shouldn't use them however my limited knowledge and experience makes me nervous about moving forward without asking the community. I know the ripple effect exists, but have no idea if it would apply to what I'm doing.
I'm aware electrolytic capacitors can last a very long time but I'm looking for a 1 and done solution rather than recapping all my stuff when I'm old and cranky :P
I would like to know if it's possible to cap any of the following items with poly caps....Last edited by Paranoid_Andy; 05-14-2021, 06:11 AM. -
