It's entirely possible that the caps are the problem: they appear to be part of the output filter on the switcher. You're looking at 105 degree, 1,000 uF, 16v capacitors. Something like Digi-Key - P12366-ND (Manufacturer - EEU-FM1C102) would probably be a suitable replacement. I'd go ahead and replace all 4. Last edited by Gizmo; 8th December, 2010 at 10:09 PM. |

No offence intended, dude, but if you have to ask that question, you need to get the assistance of someone who knows what they are doing. You need a soldering iron and either some solder braid or a desoldering iron. |

Shouldn't be anything special; they are just standard through-hole parts. I find that removing capacitors can sometimes be a bit challenging simply because the power/ground planes tend to make excellent heat sinks. As a result, getting the solder hot enough to flow all the way through can sometimes be difficult, as can cleaning the hole sufficiently to allow insertion of the leads of the replacement parts. |
| |||
Power planes, as Gizmo suggests, are a pain to work on because they are good heatsinks and pull the heat away from the soldering iron. Hence you tend to end up needing a more powerful soldering iron in order to melt the solder! (No, that doesn't mean you need one that could do double duty on plumbing either)

60 watts or so should probably be sufficient. For something like this (heating up power/ground plane), a chisel tip tends to be useful, too. |

Hello, I am new to the site, mainly becasue I have been trying to track down how to fix this same problem ![]()

Yeah, pretty much any standard electronics solder should work fine. |

Ok, So I just got home from work and I do have one bulging capacitor, I found two likely replacements at frys electronics here in town. but am unsure which of them is correct the only difference I see is the cost and one says 1000MFD and the other 100MFD, but both are CAPACITOR, 105 DEG C, 16V, RADIAL. I also found someone to do the solder work as I am novice when it come to soldering. ( I have only soldered wires and have never touched a printed board.)

You need to verify that the voltage and capacitance of the bad part matches the voltage and capacitance of the parts you are getting from Fry's. Replacing a capacitor is not like swapping a light bulb - not just any old part will do. |

I cross referenced the 1000µF 16V that you linked at the top from digi. I also brought in the PSU to Frys and verified with the salesman there. I was surprised that he was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately they were out of stock on it and he referred me to another place here in town. Im on my way there in a few. Thanks for the concern. ![]()

Funny frys didn't have them where you're at. i checked yesterday after school at my local frys and they were out of stock as well. i was trying to avoid having to buy them online. SAMSUNG-SGH-T669/T669UVJD9 SHP/VPP/R5 Dolfin/1.5 SMM-MMS/1.2.0 profile/MIDP-2.1 configuration/CLDC-1.1

Hey Gizmo, Digi-Key is giving problems when ordering so I was looking elsewhere and I found these: 12pcs Rubycon ZL 1000uf 16v 105C Radial Capacitor NEW - eBay (item 200525500831 end time Dec-28-10 17:51:47 PST) Will these work for replacements?
