  • Thx

  • They're bulging with joy! That means they're happy!

  • @linagee LOL ahhahahaha!

  • 0:38 cap poop :V

  • thanks forthe vid its what I was looking for I am about to check a capitor of an lcd and I am glad I know what to look for!

  • can somebody take a look at this video and tell me what kind of caps this is.  youtu .be/jzgc2XjcuB8

  • @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...

  • those capacitors were just dirty.

  • Useless video.

  • @colt4667 Some people do not know what a bad capacitor looks like, this video is not 100% useless.

  • @StickyCheese2000

    Good choice of music, nice quality of the pics. In short: excellent job.

    If you'd have the thumbs up/down enabled, you'd have a lot of likes, no doubt about it.

    Keep up the good work, this was nice and interesting to look at.

    I recently dumped my own old fried motherboards who also had a lot of leaked capacitors. Too bad, cuz I could have sent you pics about it. Oh well.

    Good job.

  • @Yezpahr THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE CAPACITORS THAT ALL THE BAD GUYS WANT

  • @EpicJonT

    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.

  • Comment removed

  • Great music choice :)

  • @EpicJonT YEAH BUT I BET IF IT HAD JUSTIN BIEBER'S MUSIC ON IT THEN IT WOULD STILL BE A GREAT MUSIC CHOICE BABY CAKES

  • Good & Helpful.

  • Great Pictures! Love it! Cool !

  • 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?

  • "The music" is damned awesome. Love P. Bear.

  • Thanks mate! Some are not so easy to spot.

  • why am i watching this???

  • 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?

  • 0:25

    What do you mean? Those look perfectly fine!

  • 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.

  • Bad caps can also look perfect. Some of the worst I have tested with the ESR meter looked fine.

  • 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.

  • SEXUAL ERUPTION YEAAAAH! Wait what...?

  • That is so nasty

  • 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!!

  • 0:34 penis capacitor leak...

  • @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

  • DELL COMPUTERS

  • Capacitors made in China :S

  • @horrendopatito Ofc. Everything made in China.

    

  • i like

  • The Horror.

  • At first I thought the song said 1-800-PEDOBEAR xD

  • thanks for that vid, you know made me feel much safer when buying guitar amps @ used equipment.

  • hey at 0 : 48 can someone tell me whats wrong with it? it looks normal to me.

  • hey sticky is it posible for a bad capacitor cause chops and stutter in 3d gaming?

  • the capacitor is facing negative side while the pcb is positive?

  • my capacitor looks flat, no bluge. but it looks as if someone dropped couple drops of ink on top of it.. do you think it is a blown capacitor?

  • @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 once overvolted a cap wich caused it to fatten so much and the sleeve riped of,it was that funny

  • some of those were obvious to see. some of those made me look hard. I feel like I just did homework now. thanks =( i'm kidding. cheers!

  • @HomeLessGuyToDieFOr Some odd Audioswap stuff because the music I had on before was copyrighted.

  • @StickyCheese2000 Sounds like radiohead lawl

  • Extremely Low Quality Motherboard.

  • 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.

  • WTF ???? fail video !!! let use repair motherboard dude

  • The equipment that recorded this vids music sounds like it has bad capacitors.

  • 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 -_-

  • @gcampton666 I apreciate the response. I will look for bad capacitors on some old boards and see if i can make progress.

  • The song sounds somehow like futuristic and electronic, just as this video shows electronic components :)

  • 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

  • hey , what's up with those magnets with coils? i found them too on incandescent light bulb circuits. is the 400v 3.3uF capacitor i found real?

    pls. anyone answer a.s.a.p. as soon as possible

  • @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

  • Do you recon that replacing them would fix the motherboard?

    That seems too easy.

  • hahaa all chines made.

  • DId you kill all those capacitors Harry? Yeah, but they were all BAD!

  • @achemachew yer a wizard happy

  • @mcwario13 Indeed.

  • I had a motherboard go out on me that way.

  • LOL, this soundtrack... #pedobear ? uahahaha #owned

  • I'm pretty much a pro at replacing bad capacitors

  • worst music ever to be placed on the web.

  • Gracias StickyCheese2000, es una excelente guía de capacitores defectuosos.

  • I prefer pictures of bad girls.

  • @MucusFelidae Oh snap, haha.

  • @MucusFelidae What about bad girls replacing bad capacitors? That would rock.

  • @MucusFelidae Than your logic is twisted.

    "I prefere pictures of bad girls" - But I got to pictures of bad capacitors.

    Really smart.

  •  Pretty bunch of capacitors all in a row!

  • the new jap caps last alot longer and look nicer LOL

  • Most look to be Chinese crap caps except for Nichicon's at 0:30. I'll bet they were undersized - voltagewise.

  • this is why you buy solid state mobos

  • @drKlitzman Solid State mobo? Huh? As opposed to a discrete mobo??? or a mechanical?!?!

  • @GPE001 Look up solid state capacitor motherboards ;) its the new thing

  • @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.

  • 0:38 loks that brown shil loks like a dick

  • sh*t... i fell asleep!

  • cool

  • how do i find a "singing" capacitor? i checked my motherboard but i dont see it there.

  • @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.

  • @krehall i found out it was my dell moniter. im gonna send it to the recycling center and get a new one.

  • @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.

  • how do i know which capacitors are broken and which are still working?

  • 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)

  • @Knaeckebrotsaege heh classic case of a manufacturing company choosing cost over quality.

  • 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.

  • Fuck this never happens to my flux capacitor.

  • @Wired2X

    lol.

    really doc?

  • lol they can send a man to the moon, but they cant make a capacator that wont bulge or leak....

  • Dammm fucking China Caps!!!

  • my homemade capacitor is better

  • 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.

  • @billspcclinic what changed the caps and it s working fine again?if so were did you get?

  • Funky little vid mate!

  • 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.

  • @josephhenryb finally someone that i can agree with.

  • My motherboard has ALL SOLID CAPACITORS xD!

  • 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!!!

  • whats the grean thing with the copper wraped around it

  • @asus3571 an inductor

  • @thenapalmtheory and what does it do i dont have any on my board

  • 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!

  • Nice music!

  • lol mine are starting to look like that

  • 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!

  • @fern4ndo0 Always the way innit.

  • some caps are not THAT bad. :P

  • @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.

  • This is a good video though the music ruins it big time.

  • Thank you! This is excellent training (way cheaper and way quicker than learning The Hard Way).

  • whats a capacitor?

  • @ThisIsOurHouseCoach

    an electronic thing , that store current .

  • thanks for making this. very interesting and good music too.

  • what is the reason? high voltages? or what?

  • 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

  • capacitor plague AKA bad capacitors

  • send it to turkey i live there thay can repair it for a low cost trust me

  • Yay, I get to do some soldering soon :D My computer is still running strong but guess what, my PSU blew a Capacitor with some sparks :D

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

  • Saw this first hand while trying to figure out why my computer said the CPU overheated.

  • 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!!!!!!!

  • @litlemoboi How on earth did you replace just the tops?!?

  • @litlemoboi How on earth did you replace just the tops?!?

  • 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 :)

  • Very Good Video , The choice of music was even better. What is the title of the song?

  • That is a very good compilation of photo's from bad capacitors..

    Thanks for posting, BTW the choice of music is excellent.! 5* if I could rate it.

  • 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.

  • KAPAKADERS

  • Dude, you gonna get another Dell???

  • wow someone over clocks to much

  • Hey Are those capacitors at 29 seconds really bad??? because my lcd is broken but the capacitors look like that but they dont look to bad

  • 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?

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

    watch?v=on_2CP52cW4&feature=re­lated

    that vid is not on a mainboard, but you do it the same.

  • 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??

  • actually yeah i replaced 7 bad caps and the motherboard works again!!!! ewerything is working fine!

  • thanks bon travail , vraiment Merci et chapeau.:-)

  • just cheap caps now .they dont make them like they use too !

  • Lol some of these pictures are from me! :)

    0.29 - 0.52

  • 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:

  • nice

  • thx for the song

    p.s. perfect timing

  • wow! nice!:P

  • oh noes

  • THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.

  • Unfortunately, that happened at some point each capacitor xD

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

  • overclocking

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

    mine has a 3Ghz pentium D OC'd to 3.8Ghz. running fine

  • hey... thank's Im a computer tech and I still wondering what kind of broken or kappot capacitor looks like..

    thanks again.....

  • 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 :))

    PS: I am from Germany

  • this is why you want solid caps..

  • Holy-Terrorist:>message received *=*
