Thanks for the info. I used this to fix my 40 inch samsung TV. It was easy enough to replace the capacitors once I new that the ones that Radio Shack had would work for me. I live in Hawaii and you saved me some money on shipping so Thank you again. I love your sense of humor btw. Please post some more videos
I touched the terminals of flouro light capacitor 2 years after it was disconected and got a big suprise.
Thank you so so much..Very Helpful..
If my tv has a prob with it switching on(power button)…what do u think could be the problem?
i switched the polarity as a thank you from it it popped me in the head
and it was a big one fun to see for friends but it did hurt a bit
Hi! Im trying to switch my LCD tv capacitors and the one ive taken out of from the board are 10v 1000uF 105celsius and the new ones i bought are 25v 1000uF but 85celsius. Now will these be able to handle the job or i need to get new ones that are 105c?
Hey, Afrotechmods im straight but I LOVE YOU MAN!!! Saved me, now I can fix my own plasma at teh age of 13 ^_^
@VinnieDain424
Temperature rated capacitors should also be consider , in high frequency circuits.
My computer has some bad capacitors right next to the processor socket, Is it safe to Desolder and solder so close to the processor?
Greatest video on capacitors ever!
I love this video =D Thank you!
46 seconds ago I have a Fender Deville 410 and after one jam session it all but stopped working.. The sound coming out of all speakers is quiet and muddled.. almost with a phase variance as if someone was constantly moving every dial back and forth.. I confirmed its not blown speakers by connecting it to another speaker cabinet seperately and the same sound. All tubes appear to be fine and glowing normal. No capacitors appear to be blown or extended on top.? What is the likely cause?
Great vid. I favorited it!
I have an Akai that won’t turn on; the red LCD just flashes off, then remains red and the screen stays w/o power. I want to replace the caps, but I’m not sure which ones are problematic. Are there any extra precaution I can take to avoid using my heart to discharge one of those huge caps? Obviously I won’t touch ‘em directly, but they’re connected to other stuff i might not know about, right?
@frankie2234 a cap’s voltage rating doesn’t necessarily make it “big.” You have to factor in its capacitance as well. Anyway, hook up a one megohm resistor to discharge the capacitor. Of course use insulated alligator clips or something like that to connect the resistor.
@pogi09282805724 you can use an analog ohmmeter to test capacitors.
how would you drain a big capacitor (200v) safely without killing yourself or melting your fingers
. p.s., i’m very novice regarding electronic electricity. thanks
all your videos are great!!! thanks for dedicate time and work to all users like me!! sory for mi english, im from argentina and mi native language is spanish.
I think there are a few blown capacitors on a board for an infinity basslink that stopped working a few years ago. I’m planning to use this info to try to resurrect it by replacing the caps. I just wonder if it’ll be repairable because some of the areas of the board look burnt from leaky/exploding caps… can I send you some photos to see if my repair would be in vain?
I know this is what happened to my tv!! Same popping noise
Must have over heated.
Good this I have bestbuy warranty though. Tech should be coming tomorrow to fix my it.
At least I understand it now
hilarious! and informative.
I wish I had your crystal clear voice.
Clearly Explained.Good Video.
@whiskeyify: don’t forget the lead-free solder…
I must say that the solder joint at 2:10 looks extremely bad…
Can you tell me a site where I can buy capacitors I need:
3: 1000?F 10 v capacitors and 1: 330?F 16v Capacitor
btw, great video. Thanks
