Popped a rifa last week.
Ordered the "correct" cap kit from console5 for this supply including two rifa's I smoked. Yep I forgot to order the two smaller rifas (A) My bad.
The forward cap in (C) is a 1uf 50v that came in the kit. I also need one for (B) same value. Kit only came with 1. Ok. No big deal. I had a spare in my supply.
Cap (D) is a 470uf 16v. Nothing in the kit close???
Two caps in (E) are the same deal. They are 330uf 35v. Nothing close included in kit.
So as far as being short those 4 values from the kit, they sent extra: 2x 1000uf 10v (which are the correct value for the 3 that are alongside (E), 1x 330uf 25v, and 1x 10uf 25v.
The kit had no instructions, so I don't know if I'm ok to use the ones they sent. I bet not though. I suppose it's possible someone was in this supply before me. Though they all had glue on them still. A check of the schematic would confirm this though I haven't done it yet.
It almost killed me to desolder all those neat yellow elna caps. BUT I'm glad I did because every single one of the caps in this thing were leaking. Not bad, but they were. Hence the dimming power light I had when the drive seeked.
My question is though if anyone experienced this with console5? They've been pretty good in the past. And the sealed bag they sent had my power supply model number on it. I think I'll just order the remaining caps from mouser and call it good. Just more money spent on shipping plus more time.
Thanks!!
