Changing out large dual capacitors for modern twin caps in a venerable Marantz 2285b receiver. 3D printed pucks to hold the new (much smaller) capacitors in the original cap clamps. #makershour #Marantz #hifirepair #badcaps #3dprinting

The screen was still displaying all happily (I HATE I didn't get a pic of it), while the smoke was billowing so I'm thinking something blew in the power supply. As it goes. :)

I YOLOed this morning and turned on the 512k without cracking it.
It chimed!
...and then started billowing smoke after about 10mintes. 😂

A faulty electrolytic capacitor which probably had about 15 hours use before failing and causing distorted audio (it was used as a DC blocking cap on an audio output). Mockingly, it was "Forever" branded.
It, and its friend, desoldered and replaced with new Panasonic caps.

Hi folks – My stuff is on Threadless too, but I'm sometimes bad at keeping my shop up to date because the designs interface can be very slow.
Well, I've added/updated designs in the shop and Threadless is having their Memorial Day sale. If you like my stuff but have hesitated because of pricing (or you don't like TeePublic), this might be an opportunity for you.

My first ever motherboard recapping operation is a success. It was an Asus K8U-X that I got in a box full of old computer parts.
The motherboard came with an AMD Sempron 2600+ CPU along with its fans and cooler, one stick of 512MB of DDR1 RAM, and a bunch of bulging KZG capacitors that prevented the board to start.
Hot air, preheating, paste flux and cranking up the temperature of the iron were key to this. On the other hand, the desoldering gun wasn't of much help.

If you enjoy my terrible cartoons of terrible, obscure, electronic-components dad-jokes, please waste your hard-earned money on my merch. Or don't.

Speaking of recaping, this LC-III should really be next, oh my it didn't look that way last time I opened it…

Ok, found replacements for those two bad capacitors… Yep, this #IBM ThinkVision L150 works fine now!
Spent about the same time cleaning the case than actually fixing the #electronics…
Oddly the maintainance manual I found had different schematics, possibly they changed stuff for the model with a DVI input.
