AI Customer ServiceI''m a new guy to the console repair world, but as I need to replace the capacitors of one "dead" Game Gear that I own, I came across with a lot of "how-to-do" videos on . In theory I
AI Customer ServiceNo need to replace all capacitors. Some are used in low voltage, medium to
AI Customer ServiceNo need to replace all capacitors. Some are used in low voltage, medium to low impedance paths and their operation is not impaired by small leakage. Good prewar paper
AI Customer ServiceAny caps that are bulging on top will be less than rated capacitance, leaking electrolyte and could be getting hot. So yes, you need to replace them. It is
AI Customer ServicePower supply capacitors are the most likely to need replacement. In my experience, heat is a major contributing factor in shortening the lifespan of electrolytic
AI Customer ServiceIf you have an old Sega Game Gear that powers on and then right back off, has low/no sound or a dim screen replacing these capacitors with new ones can potentially
AI Customer ServiceIdentifying the Correct Replacement Capacitor. Once you have removed the old ceiling fan capacitor, it''s important to identify the correct replacement capacitor before
AI Customer ServiceThe voltage rating is the maximum voltage the capacitor can take, if you go one or two intervals higher than the original capacitors you should be fine. The uF rating is more important, as it dictates how much energy the capacitor can
AI Customer ServiceTo determine the size of capacitor you need for your air conditioner, consider the capacitance value, voltage rating, ripple current rating, and temperature variation. The
AI Customer ServiceHow do I know which power supply capacitors to replace and what do I replace them with? The first step when planning to recap a component is to attempt to get the
AI Customer ServiceTo do this, the capacitors need to be reformed and replaced if they have failed. This will allow you to see what needs to be done, even if the caps sort of work. At least you will
AI Customer ServiceTo do this, the capacitors need to be reformed and replaced if they have
AI Customer ServiceDo I Need to Replace My AC Capacitor? As a homeowner, it''s important to monitor your AC unit and be aware of any signs that it may need a new capacitor. Here are
AI Customer ServiceFor anything 1970s or earlier I think it''s replace on sight for tube amp capacitors. The failure rate is simply too high and the consequences too serious to leave really old caps in
AI Customer ServiceIf I''m working on a 40+ year old piece of equipment and I have to remove a pc board to replace a bad component, I''ll replace every electrolytic cap on that board because
AI Customer ServicePower supply capacitors are the most likely to need replacement. In my experience, heat is a major contributing factor in shortening the lifespan of electrolytic capacitors; if you look at capacitor specifications, you will note
AI Customer ServiceAny caps that are bulging on top will be less than rated capacitance, leaking electrolyte and could be getting hot. So yes, you need to replace them. It is common on PC
AI Customer ServiceSelect a capacitor with a capacitance value (given in MFD, uf or microfarad) that is equal to the original capacitor. Do not deviate from the original value, as it sets the operational
AI Customer ServiceReplacing electrolytic capacitors is one of the most common ways to repair (and maintain) vintage electronic gear. This article will explain what these capacitors do and discuss a few different
AI Customer ServiceIf you have an old Sega Game Gear that powers on and then right back off, has low/no sound or a dim screen replacing these capacitors with new ones can potentially breathe new life into your classic console.

AI Customer ServiceReplacing electrolytic capacitors is one of the most common ways to repair (and maintain) vintage electronic gear. This article will explain what these capacitors do and discuss a few different approaches for replacing them.
AI Customer ServiceIf it does have YLOD already (OP never stated there was a fault) and you swap the caps out without properly diagnosing it, it may start working again because the excessive heat required
AI Customer ServiceAnother option to consider when replacing electrolytic capacitors in your gear is to purchase modern axial capacitors with high voltage ratings. Axial caps in particular are useful in power supplies constructed on turret boards, common on vintage guitar amps.
Replacing electrolytic capacitors is one of the most common ways to repair (and maintain) vintage electronic gear. This article will explain what these capacitors do and discuss a few different approaches for replacing them. What are Electrolytic Filter Capacitors?
No need to replace all capacitors. Some are used in low voltage, medium to low impedance paths and their operation is not impaired by small leakage. Good prewar paper capacitors still today have an insulation resistance in the order of several tens or hundreds of megahoms.
After 20+ years, the capacitors in the Sega Game Gear will begin to leak and fail. Replacing these capacitors with new ones can potentially breathe new life into your classic console. Pop open the two battery compartment covers on the back of your Game Gear and remove the batteries. Remove 6 #1 Phillips Head screws. (Red)
The factory capacitors are glued down. Using a small pair of needle nose pliers, gently pull up on the capacitor to break it free. The capacitors are surface-mount, so simply melt the solder on each leg and pull it free. Only replace ONE capacitor at a time. This minimizes the chances of you forgetting which ones went where.
Well, if the absolute voltage measured across Rg is in the order of one tenth of the nominal bias voltage or more, the capacitor must be replaced regardless of its leakage. On the contrary, if the measured voltage is low, say few millivolts, no need to replace the capacitor. This can be the case of a low ohmic value for Rg, say 10 to 47 kohms.
