Re: Sanyo fake caps?

Yes, I've read that those are not very reliable.
I will try to change them all.

It's weird to see that most of the famous brands of TV and LCD's are using "cheap" capacitors. As far as I remember, I've never seen "cheap" capacitors on famous brands of computer PSU's and motherboards...

Re: Sanyo fake caps?

Haha !

Have I to change the "small" 470 uF 25V one (and the huge 450V one?), or just the four 1000 uF?
It is recommanded to recap all old Samxon (craps)?

Re: Sanyo fake caps?

The originals caps are:

2x Samxon GF 1000uF 16V 10x20
2x Samxon GF 1000uF 25V 10x20
1x Samxon GF 470uF 25v

Actually, It is the exact same problem I found here :

Besides, and according to the Samxon GF series datasheet, the bad caps specs are :

Samxon GF 1000uF 16V 10x20
Impedance : 0.060
Ripple current : 1210

Samxon GF 1000uF 25V 10x20
Impedance : 0.046
Ripple current : 1400...

Re: Sanyo fake caps?

Thanks for explaining the caps "reforming" process PCBONEZ, I was just reading some results from Google, trying to understand.

Unfortunately, I have not the stuff to do such a process !


Anyway,

I have to replace 2x 16V 1000uF caps, and 2x 25V 1000uF caps.

I've just ordered Rubycon ZLH 35V 1000uF (I bought higher voltage, It's OK right? Thanks for confirming me this... since I have only a very basic knowledge before reading some of the topics on here).

Better wait for them to arrive?...

Re: Sanyo fake caps?

The ones on the photo are SE 5D.

The one I've tried to open was SE 64.

So, you said those are (seems to be) legit but very old!

Is it safe to use them into a 19' LCD screen that require preferably low ESR caps?

Thanks!

Hi Badcaps users,

I'm new and I've just discovered this forum ! I've read lots of topics, and discovered that even capacitors can be faked, and most of the eBay-sold caps are fake !

Several days ago, I have received 5 Sanyo capacitors, bought at a (very) cheap on eBay...

Even that I think these are surely fake, I would like your confirmation, and if it is recommanded to use them to replace SamXon dead caps into my old 19" 930BF samsung screen. Is there a risk of damaging my screen?

I've tried to open one of them, to see if the Sanyo capacitor...
