PSU Capacitor Question
Hi all,
I have a PSU here from a BT branded modem-router. One of the capacitors has gone pop. It's a 16v 47uF. I've had a dig through my box of bits and found a 16v 220uF - will this do, or do I really need to go out and get a 47uF? Thanks in advance, Dave -- (remove spamblock or reply to group) |

Thanks, Charles. I'll give it a go and report back. Follow up; I fitted the 220uF capacitor and tentatively fired it up. It works absolutely fine - I've flashed the firmware to the latest version. Just need to get a specific cable to hook it up to the phone line and away it goes! Many thanks. :-) Dave -- (remove spamblock or reply to group) |
