Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
It seems that way, but where did the cap's body went lol? The cap didn't just went bad now, I had the system from 2011, I never opened it before, so it seems it worked with these messed up caps since then. Tomorrow morning I'll replace all caps in its psu, to see if the speaker problem, that started a few weeks ago, is related.Comment

To capacitor heaven?
In all seriousness... wow, those Honsing caps must be quite bad quality to go out like that. Maybe they should be called to "Hosing" (as in, ruining the equipment they are put in.)Comment

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Glad I found this site! Could not tell you the amount of caps I have replaced over the years with splatter found all over the inside of computer cases or other. I joined as I am having a non cap related issue.. however thanks for this post - lots of nastyness!Comment

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
I think LG is being a little bit disloyal to their country by not using Korean (e.g. Samyoung and/or Samwha) electrolytic capacitors - the Korean electrolytics are at least one grade higher than the Chinese electrolytics.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Well, I think Samwha is pretty bad as of recent. Down there with Teapo/CapXon IMO, at least their low ESR series. Samyoung are okay if you keep them cool. I wouldn't put LTEC below Samyoung, though - their performance in Delta units has proven that you can make at least some of them work in PSUs if you try.I'd put LTEC above OST and OST above Teapo if we're comparing low ESR series (OST and Teapo have proven that they can definitely fail in an untimely manner even if you treat them well). General purpose series, I'd put OST above LTEC and LTEC above Teapo, if only because Teapo bulge more, not that it means much anyway.
The only "bad" brands I would honestly put above LTEC are Taicon and Hitano, TBH (although LTEC has been operating as one of Teapo's subsidiaries since April of 2005, so maybe LTEC has gone downhill since then). I'd tie Elite/Chinsan with LTEC (Elite are out of Thailand, however). Of course they are all unreliable and inconsistent compared to the Japanese brands but even some of those brands have proven that they can mess up and very badly at that, ala KZG/KZJ. That said, at least those previously awful ultra low ESR wet electrolytics are discontinued.Also keep in mind that these Korean brands are headquartered in Korea but do have factories in China and likely adopt and use many materials from there (IE materials processed in-house), although Samwha do import their aluminum foil from Japan if you could believe that. Older Samwha and Samyoung aren't so bad - I've seen 20+ year old VCRs and SCSI devices with them chugging along just fine. Samyoung is NCC's Korean subsidiary and Samwha Nichicon's, so those things may help.

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
La soldadura parece bien, no de la calidad de marcas Delta o Seasonic pero esta decente.
(The soldering looks good, not likes the quality of delta or seasonic ,but still decent)
Un ventilador de 8cm me parece un poco chiquito para remover el calor que va a generar el PSU. Si fuera algo mas grande o por lo menos otra marca que esa duraria mas.
Pero yo lo repararia por lo menos para 200-250 vatios
(Still i would fix it for at least 200-250 watts)
(Y que viva España)
Igualmente gracias, y por las molestias en escribir en español

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
^ Ouch. Judging by those coils, the Chang capacitors above are probably filtering buck regulators - and that can't be good for them.
Also makes you wonder what is in the lower-end players if this is a "higher" end.

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Speaking of KZG, I had one 820 uF 6.3V KZG fail on a P5GC-MX while sitting unused in storage for a year. This was back in October. Yesterday, I had a look at that motherboard again, and another 820 uF 6.3V KZG has failed again, all on its own. I guess it is only a matter of time before others bulge on that motherboard. It's had something like 50k hours on the clock, though. So not too bad overall. I guess KZG doesn't like to sit unused more than anything else.Comment

by momakaI know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).
https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591771
https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772
It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

by eccerr0rIntroducing... the POS-124Z which really is a POS:
Yep it's a POS allright.
I tried powering it up. It's a KILLER - not fried, but sure will fry things! I got 21V out of it unloaded according to my DMM!
I tried 21W load (car lamp) - got 16V, which is really pushing that lamp.
Then I tried a 50W load (car headlight) - got 13.2V. Not too bad but this is with the heavy load...except the circuit breaker kept tripping.
So I had to take a peek:
EIEW. Looks like a Darlington emitter follower + Zener device. Heatsinking?... -
by Per HanssonWhile our PSU hall of shame thread is fun I thought It'd be fun to have a ripple hall of shame thread too
I'll go first out, it's an industrial PSU that offers +15v -15v -5v +5v rails.
However it has been mounted on a frame with DC/DC converters for producing +12v and -12v as well.
The caps for this have gone a bit high ESR
The measured ripple is around 1700mV, or 1.7v!
After recapping the ripple is gone, also note that the scale on the scope is 50mV/div instead of 500mV per div in this shot

by likhsuHi any suggestion would really help.
I have Hp Envy X360 13 which is AMD.
Model : 13-ar0005AU
motherboard No : 18740-1.
Problem : can't turn on.
After inspecting the motherboard, I discovered that one of the hall sensors was broken. Can't find the schematic for this board, so not sure about this SMD device number.
Does anyone know the serial number of this LID Switch?2 Photos -
by bauto601Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps
The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish.... - Loading...
