Hi all,
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Phihong Switching power supply model PSM217-404-H-R for my Hanns G HD281 Monitor that's not turning on. I think that is one/some of the caps that are bad. I have a Fluke 12b Multimeter that I got a while back. I tested the capacitance on C601 and it registered 21.5 uF on the Fluke. The specs for this cap are 400v 22uF -- right on spec. I go and test C502 (25v 470uF) cap and get the reading of 3000-7900 uF's. Testing the other caps in the area return the same type of results. I am putting the Red Lead on the positive side and Black lead on the negative side (side with the off color stripe down the cap) using the capacitance setting. There are no bubbled/prego/leaking/brown stuff around the caps that would say their obviously bad.
1. I would just like confirmation that i'm using this DMM right.
2. What does this mean with the uF readings so high?
C502 is the top right one with out the red marking on top. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...7&d=1285542628
