@CKS5000 dude these are.... 6000 uf capacitors... on what voltage i dont know but they look like capacitors and they have writing on them 6000uf... so they are caps... bad caps... need to be replaced... u supose...
You read my mind, I was gonna post the exact same thing.
'm on a stoned buzz now, mixing valium with cannabis really rocks and makes me forget everything the moment I see, but that music really keeps me looking.
what happens when a capacitor leaks on the board? what's a safe way to clean the crusty dischage from the circut board? can the discharge damage the board?
How can you tell what are bad and are not bad. Some look just fine. I had a TV that had a blow capacitor or resistor. Don't know what one as there are hundreds put together. All looked just fine. How could I tell what one it was? I tested to board and it no longer came to zero so how can I find the bad one?
You can NOT tell if a Capacitor is bad just by looking at it. An E.S.R. meter and Capacitance meter is required. Expensive equipment.

some capacitors can go bad. The best way to fine one that went bad, is if you look at each one of them. They shouldn't have any cracks, nor any leakage. They should have a flat surface on the top, and should be cased in right. some other ones can melt under the capacitors and will look slanted. I know how to replace those, because I replaced many different things.
The main reason the mother board and video card capacitors heat up are due to cheap power supply units out there who's output capacitors fail, which leads to the capacitors on the mother board and graphics card having to do the high frequency filtering action. This causes the capacitors to heat up, please use a good power supply to prevent this.
Great video!!! Electrolytic caps is a type that uses an electrolyte, an ionic conducting liquid, as one of its plates. This reqs that the applied volt must be polarized; (DirectCurrent) Also, the ionic conducting liquid has a expire date, even if the caps are unused!!! ..so, using dc caps that was produced years ago is always a bad idea, even if they comes right from the store and looks brand new!!
@SynikaI ahaha))) we need only two infared lamps from infared remote control (for example remote control for TV) to simulate the EGGS - two penya's friends :D :D :D

@mooserak if it's blown caps you will see your monitor blink or flicker non stop. After a while if untreated will get a dead black screen on startup. These are the symptoms for bad caps.
I am aware of this problem, bad capacitors. Why do they go bad?
Deffective capacitors. Japanese capacitors seem to be the best. The problem could be that the inside of the computer got too hot due to ventilation. Fans and their heatsink grills are dirty and filty so the MOBO gets hot. In the end, Capacitors came faulty from manufacturer.
I don't know why those board manufacturers put caps rated at 6.3v since they could have chosen a larger voltage rating like 10v to put at least a more safety margin. I think they want their boards to die at a given amount of time -_-
can you guys help me, i have speakers that are good quality, and im powering them with an amp but the amp doesent have any bass knobs. so i can only adjust the frequency on my equalizer on the pc. but i also have a sub. and if i turn down the low frequencies then that effects the sub. i need the low frequencies for the sub but i cant have it becasue of the speakers. so i need to get something that can cut frequencies from 0hz to 90hz so that it doesnt bottom out my bookshelfs. thanks
@videopirate100 Those are called ferrite cores or toroid cores and mostly non magnetic types. Combined with enameled copper wire wound around it, it then becomes an inductor which have many different uses. Most use are for filtering noise, rf filters on radio's, matching frequency transformers etc... The one you saw on your light bulb was used for an inverter circuit that drives the florescent lamp to light up. The inverter circuit was to replace the old bulky Ballast types
@drKlitzman Bah! They're just polymer caps...nothing new about them. Same as Os-Con's -- I've been using them for nearly 15 years now. They're better than electro's but cost more - a lot more. Which is why they weren't used on mass produced boards in highly cost competitive fields. But -who- gave them the name "solid state"? Us in the design world have been calling them polymer caps but never "solid state". Pretty much just a misnomer.
@GPE001 Yes, but a good chunk of caps used in mobos are and were electrolyte caps usually filled with a water based electrolyte meaning they are not in a "solid state" , because of the fluid. Solid state caps is an appropriate name due to the fact that nothing inside of them moves.
@Gameboykd look for "capacitor electronic resonance" instead
Electronic resonance is common with older capacitor type and can somtimes indicate a failing capacitor.
1 thing i noticed with these images is that most of the capacitors that failed were close to a potential heat source, ie: CPU heatsink this led to major problems on older mainboards. The capacitors on my mainboard are more spaced out and are possitioned away from heat generating components. I have also installed 6 additional fans.
@Gameboykd yep you will also find that many older CRT monitor's and some early flatscreen monitors produce a high pitched noise somtimes. That is the sound of electronic resonance.
i just fixed another crappy Samsung 24" FullHD LCD Monitor with.. guess what? crappy caps (Sam Young)
All caps *looked* fine (no bulging/leaking), but their ESR was like.. 10+ times of what it should be. monitor's backlight went out after 2 secs.
Replaced the crapcaps with good Panasonics and it works fine again. now just to offload those fixed junk "gamer" monitors with cheap TN panels on ebay and get some cash :D
total cost for fixing: less than 2euros (about 3$) in caps :o)
the use of these capacitors is because they want predetermined breaking points in their products so you have to buy them again and again.
sure you want the newest and fastest pc like every two years if youre a gamer, but lets be honest: you really think you need more like todays state of the art computer (a affordable 3ghz dualcore, 2-4gb ram for example) for text editing, email and internet surfing for the next.... hmmm... ten years?
@alder321 heh the Compaq SLT 286 lasted me 18 Years with all capacitors changed out in 1993, kept working flawlessly until 2003 when sadly the machine died of old age. For a machine like that it was pretty impressive. A machine i built in 2004 an AMD K6-2 500 lasted 3 years until som of the caps started venting. 18 years compared to 3 really says somthing about modern technology.
great video, i know nothing about pc repair. but after seeing this video i found two bulged caps on my old nvidia video card, and yes it works again. thanks.
Years ago, manufacturers used higher maximal voltage capacitors. I mean, if the cap has to hold 150v, then the maximum voltage of the capacitor would be 200 or more.
Now, on modern electronics, if a cap has to hold 150v, the caps are 150v maximum voltage. I think it can be one reason for problems.
Look folks! Manufactures are WILLING using under rated Caps so they will fail as time approaches warranty expiration. Most of my work is Cap replacement. I have saved MANY Motherboard from cap failure. 1.3VDC is NOT enough overhead for a 5VDC line!!!
I have been replacing electrolytics on SONY receivers and other transceivers, mostly surface mount. I use a bit higher voltage, 6.3 to a 10 or 16 volt. I've seen this many times in computers! Good show case!
My 1970 JVC Nivico console stereo doesn't have cap problems and it's full of electrolytics in the power supply and amplifiers. I don't know what brand the caps are. Whatever they are they haven't bulged or leaked in 40 years.
A funny thing has happened half a year ago. My PC started rebooting unexpectedly, it turned out most of the power supply capacitors on the mainboard were bulged. I replaced all of them, it still didn't work properly. I tried it with a different PSU, no luck either. I was about to give up on it, but I still had one cap left, so being out of better ideas I replaced a perfectly fine looking cap located near the PCI slots. And it helped! Everything worked fine since then
@fern4ndo0 It happened to my old PC (a Celeron machine from 1997) with all caps around the processor in a puking state: the problem was that it gave results you'd normally describe as having a software origin (my pc randomly started to uncouple things on the ports) after replacing all of them it runs flawless again (not bad for a PC that has been an office-machine for 5 years!
@sk7ca Just because some "Don't look bad", doesn't mean they aren't. Just because they haven't split or bulged out doesn't mean they're good. I've run into a lot of flat-screen monitors with bad caps (they are usually 470mfd or 1000mfd). About half of them are visibly damage, but lots of them aren't . This is common on lots of Genesis, BenQ, and HP monitors made between 2002 and 2008.
Only problem with changing the faulty Cap's is that its already stressed the other componants on the board so reducing the life..... Its crazy that with all the technolagy in a modern computer the manufactures are using cheep Caps.... I suppose they sell more mother boards that way...
after replacing the bulging tops of the capacitors in my lcd monitor i have encountered a new problem. my monitor is fast heating. in just an hour my monitor has a 60dcelcius hot i think bcoz i cant touch it with my bare hands. someone can help me??? i dont know how to fix it coz i dont know the problem in my monitor. please help me before my monitor gets overheated and turn off in just an hour... thanks!!!!!!!
are all capacitors on a motherboard always under load all the time? if this is the case, my 6-year-old motherboard should have all dead capacitors considering its 2000 hour life rating.... should I be expecting it to die on me any second now?
@Slurfs Technically, they dry out. *HOWEVER* the big problem these days is the counterfeit capacitors that flooded the market back a few years ago. They fail real easily. Just Google for the story about the stolen capacitor "recipe".

FYI sometimes there's a black sticky stuff that oozes out of the bottom of the cap, you have to remove it from the board to see it.
another problem is the top of a cap looks ok, but the plastic wrap has pulled down, in other words all you see is bare metal on the top, I think it's caused by the cap getting warm which causes the plastic to shrink.
have been doing this for awhile, took my first electronics class in H.S. in 1965.
hey please reply!!! i have a motherboard that doesnt run and it has one capacitator with that round top. it means if i replace that cap the motherboard will run again?
Hi.... i was wondering now.. have you replace the cap??? soo the mother board is now operational or what??? when you power it up does some of the component work??? like the fan or the LED light up??
Once I saw a PC PSU that failed because of the caps inside. One of them blew up, spraying all of it's electrolytic fluid all over the inside of the case D:

I have been replacing electrolytics on SONY receivers and other transceivers, mostly surface mount. I use a bit higher voltage, 6.3 to a 10 or 16 volt. I've seen this many times in computers! Good show case!

My 1970 JVC Nivico console stereo doesn't have cap problems and it's full of electrolytics in the power supply and amplifiers. I don't know what brand the caps are. Whatever they are they haven't bulged or leaked in 40 years.

A funny thing has happened half a year ago. My PC started rebooting unexpectedly, it turned out most of the power supply capacitors on the mainboard were bulged. I replaced all of them, it still didn't work properly. I tried it with a different PSU, no luck either. I was about to give up on it, but I still had one cap left, so being out of better ideas I replaced a perfectly fine looking cap located near the PCI slots. And it helped! Everything worked fine since then

@fern4ndo0 It happened to my old PC (a Celeron machine from 1997) with all caps around the processor in a puking state: the problem was that it gave results you'd normally describe as having a software origin (my pc randomly started to uncouple things on the ports) after replacing all of them it runs flawless again (not bad for a PC that has been an office-machine for 5 years!

@sk7ca Just because some "Don't look bad", doesn't mean they aren't. Just because they haven't split or bulged out doesn't mean they're good. I've run into a lot of flat-screen monitors with bad caps (they are usually 470mfd or 1000mfd). About half of them are visibly damage, but lots of them aren't . This is common on lots of Genesis, BenQ, and HP monitors made between 2002 and 2008.

Only problem with changing the faulty Cap's is that its already stressed the other componants on the board so reducing the life..... Its crazy that with all the technolagy in a modern computer the manufactures are using cheep Caps.... I suppose they sell more mother boards that way...

if you were like me you would unsolder the Capacitor and replace it ^^ save all the Money

@rbeoulve No, You can replace with higher Voltage rating, but the uF must stay the same!

after replacing the bulging tops of the capacitors in my lcd monitor i have encountered a new problem. my monitor is fast heating. in just an hour my monitor has a 60dcelcius hot i think bcoz i cant touch it with my bare hands. someone can help me??? i dont know how to fix it coz i dont know the problem in my monitor. please help me before my monitor gets overheated and turn off in just an hour... thanks!!!!!!!

are all capacitors on a motherboard always under load all the time? if this is the case, my 6-year-old motherboard should have all dead capacitors considering its 2000 hour life rating.... should I be expecting it to die on me any second now?

Actually capacitors wear out when they are not in use ;)

@Slurfs Technically, they dry out. *HOWEVER* the big problem these days is the counterfeit capacitors that flooded the market back a few years ago. They fail real easily. Just Google for the story about the stolen capacitor "recipe".

@rabidowski Yup. I am aware of the badcap story . There is also a website badcaps net who have a great deal of info about bad caps :)

FYI sometimes there's a black sticky stuff that oozes out of the bottom of the cap, you have to remove it from the board to see it.
another problem is the top of a cap looks ok, but the plastic wrap has pulled down, in other words all you see is bare metal on the top, I think it's caused by the cap getting warm which causes the plastic to shrink.
have been doing this for awhile, took my first electronics class in H.S. in 1965.

if that's the only thing that's wrong with it and you do it properly, then yes.

It simply means the capacitor is bad. Replacing it may make the MB work again but it may not.

Hi.... i was wondering now.. have you replace the cap??? soo the mother board is now operational or what??? when you power it up does some of the component work??? like the fan or the LED light up??

A capacitor on a main board can be damaged only by power supply problems or there are some other reasons for that?

ok, i am almost positive that you cannot destroy a capacitor overclocking your computer.

and this is how you can get free/low budget Computer Parts!
Go to your local Computer Store,ask for their old/broken Computer Parts,normally they dont want money for them just say you want to study them ;)
Now solder the bad Parts out and go to your local ELEKTRONIC store and buy a few parts ;)
e.g. a capacitor only cots a few cents,sometimes you get a single one as a gift ;)
Thats how I do it (I am a Radio and TV Technichan :))
