  • Was the capacitor in backwards? Or did you overvoltage it? What is the noise from? What is the circuit board's function? What temperatures are you giving? Is that a thermocouple taped to the board?

  • This is a 1000w power supply (48v to 12v, 5v, 3v). The capacitor is in a filter circuit on the 12v output. This is indeed a thermocouple on the board, we were trying to see if we are getting any kind of thermal runaway. The capacitor turned out to be counterfeit, a 16v cap relabeled as a 20v cap.

  • Another fine product from Sony!

  • Nice try. Silk screen says C20 which means its a cap-- which also have a white stripe to indicate polarity. Thank you for playing!

  • The joy of modern electronics, they are so safe (sicasem)

  • beware those counterfeit tantalums! burning is unmistakable tantalum. the yellow parts on the left are also tantalums.

  • @kakureru thanks for the info thought it was a diode.

  • SMD capacitors look similar to diodes, that may be comfusing, but yes, that one is a capacitor.

  • black are diodes, yellow / orange (however you see that color) are caps.

  • may as well just have made a vid of you and your boy-friend making out

  • you win Kitty cat someone who nows how to read a board  its a dying art form

  • IS DIODO IC HELLO FROM MEXICALI MEX

  • the white strip indicates polarity
