Re: Cap replacement advise please..

Thanks for the reply..

Yeah, looking through the polymer caps the highest voltages I saw was 6.4v out of 3500 caps there were two/three..

Also noticed that any replacement electrolytic cap that met the spec was gonna be big.

like you say 20mm..

So I looked for a different solution..

And found one.

Modify the cooler on the card.. By cutting a small area of plastic away there are no further obstacles fortunately and the card fits perfectly..

...

Hi I have a Foxconn motherboard (I will post a pic if I am allowed..) I have a situation where due to the design (board was realeased in 2006/7) there is a Rubycon Electrolytic through hole 22mm 16v 1800uf MBZ T0619 capacitor that is preventing the proper fitting of a chunky graphics card, due to the card being too long and the back edge hitting the top of the rather high 22/23mm cap....

I think I have the tools and skill level to replace the cap.

Ideally I want to replace it for a shorter cap, preferably <12mm.

Firstly I wanted your wealth of opinion...

Hi, I am new here. Have a certain task I am considering, need a little bit of advice.

Half way through reading "How to diagnose and Fix everything electronic" written by Michael Jay Geier.

Wondering if I really need an oscilloscope..?
