Capacitor uF

[jcheun]

Does it matter if the Capacitor im replacing with uf is lower than the original broken cap? For example the broken cap uf is 2700 the cap im replacing with is 2200uf

Always replace caps with ones of the uf same rating or slightly above, NEVER lower.

Always replace caps with ones of the uf same rating or slightly above, NEVER lower. Same thing goes with the voltage; a bad 25v cap can be replaced with a 35v / 50v cap as long as it fits and you have clearance for other components / casing. Make sure you match or exceed the temp rating also; it will usually be 85c or 105c.

Re: Capacitor uF

It depends more on what the caps function is. Where is the cap from? Specifics, please.

Re: Capacitor uF

its from a xbox 360. The cap is 6.3v 2700uf

Re: Capacitor uF

Need a bit more info... Brand & series AND diameter & height. Easier to make the proper recommendation for replacement. Series are usually 2 or 3 letter marked near the temperature rating.

Diameter and height.

Also, consider replacing all of that brand and series of cap on the board. More failures are likely. Especially due to the heat in there.

If you are unsure, post pics of markings on cap.

How old of a xbox 360 is this? Mine is the first gen to have the extra heatpipe and heatsink on the gpu, smaller manufacturing process, and the HDMI port on the back.

When I cracked it open it had all 105C rubycon's from the bigun's to the littleun's, along with the little fujitsu solids scattered about.
