Hello Everyone,
I have a Dell NPS-250KB PSU with a 200V 560uf cap that has been squashed from an impact with something. The cap is a Nichicon LU(M) series. I have unsoldered the cap, only to find that I haven't got any caps close to 560uf.
The only caps I have are Nippon Chemicon 470uf 200V and Tosin 200V 470uf.
Both of these caps are from dead PSUs. Will they be suitable as a replacement for the 560uf cap or will I expect an explosion if I tried??
Is this Nichicon a General purpose cap or a Low-ESR cap?? I have no idea why that cap has tape wrapped around the bottom of it....
All the other caps in the PSU are Ltec and still look fine so I'll leave them alone. I think there is one Nichicon 1000uf 16V though.
Thanks.
