Re: Quick Easy Question about Voltage

Thanks guys, I'm gunna buy some ultra low ESR on ebay. The shipping isn't bad... I'm gunna buy 6 panasonic caps and replace all of them.

Re: Quick Easy Question about Voltage

They are a good brand of cap.

N.T.E.

You didn't say weather I could use the 2200uf 16V caps. That mean I can't?

Should I replace all 5 then?

The store down the road doesn't have anything 6.3V

Yay 2 bad caps on this one. The board came out of an Acer Veriton system that I stole from a highschool about 6 years ago. Not bad eh? I'm still using the board and planning on recapping soon.

The guy at the store said I could do it, but I wanted to get a second opinion first. Might seem like a dumb thing to ask, I've never done this before. I've only soldered components onto PCB's in highschool but I have confidence I won't torch my board.

2 X 2200uf 6.3V capacitors on my Acer N1996 board are leaking. They havn't caused any problems and everything seems stable for now. But I wanna replace them before they cause problems, I don't feel like losing files.

Anyhoo...

I can get 3 X 2200uf 16V capacitors to replace them with for $3.50, same temperature...
