    What kind of capacitors are these?

    Hi guys
    This question may have gone unnoticed on a repair thread I have here in another section

    What sort of capacitors are these black plastic ones? I broke one and need a replacement.

      Thanks budm

      the are marked 470 and 2.5 or 3.0 if I remember without looking again. They are on Vcore on a GTX780ti so either value would work.

      I had no problem working out the value. just what they are.. I always thought Tants were blue or yellow things

      With your advice I can now find what I need. I've ordered some. Cheers

        tants are yellow or black - usually with white writing,
        polymers are black,<< they could be polymers
        neobium are orange

          VRM for a mobo or graphics card, I would say they must be SMT solid polymer parts for their low ESR. Might be hybrid tantalum/polymer.
          Note the pc board has dual footprints to use can types or rectangular moulded parts. It's whatever is cheapest at the time of production.

              it wouldnt have worked anyway, there is gray paste all over the ram and power circuits.
              that shit is capacitive!

                Re: What kind of capacitors are these?

                Oh should have explained but it was on my other thread here so I didn't

                Short version (pun intended)

                I had a short on Vcore

                I used my ESR meter to figure out which side of the VRM inductors was the short because my multimeter could not tell difference either side of the coils but to the ESR meter it was obvious it was load side

                I then removed all these capacitors (most were these black ones but four were solid aluminium electrolytics) Unfortunately I broke one of the black ones in the process.

                It made no difference to the short anyway so then I removed the GPU thinking that was short - but still it made no difference, which surprised me.

                I then used my microscope and found a MLCC on Vcore that looked distressed and removed it. The MLCC actually was short, but Vcore only went from 0.5 ohm to 1 ohm

                Next I used my bench PSU to put 1.2V into Vcore at a good 3 Amps and found another MLCC getting very hot

                I removed that and the short had gone

                Now I just need to to reball the GPU (have ordered a stencil), solder it and replace the black tantalum capacitor I broke, hence this thread (also ordered some) and with a bit of luck I will have a good working GTX 780ti graphics card

                Simples really.

                  After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                  by dragon3x
                  Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                  power on.

                  Here are some examples :

                  (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                  switching supply area).
                  (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                  than 6.3 V.)

                  1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                  I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                  3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

                  AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?
                  by slybunda
                  hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
                  it has inside:
                  2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
                  2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

                  not heard of these brands are they any good?

                  iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

                  Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                  This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                  After all of...

                  Are there any datasheets available for Elna RJG capacitors?
                  by Ady2017
                  I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...

                  Samsung UN70tu7000wxza no standby light, do I have bad capacitors?
                  by ctroxtell
                  I picked up a 70" Samsung UN70TU7000WXZA. The original owner said they were watching it when the power surged and knocked it out. I pulled the back off the TV and disconnected the main board from the power board, and the LED backlight came on, which I was told meant the power board was good. When everything is plugged in the standby light will not come on, looking at the main board BN94-17775A with a thermal imaging gun I can see one of the chips labeled 3202 is 251 degrees F just sitting idle. I found a replacement board, BN94-16115X; this board has the same symptoms, except it is a different...
