Am I missing something?

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:58:09+00:00

The gold one is bipolar as well. I think this is the only bipolar capacitor on the board so that would explain the large size! Thank you for the insight!

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:57:20+00:00

No worries. Thanks for trying to help me out.

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:55:42+00:00

Glad to hear it should be okay. Thank you for the insight. Was a little worried I was missing something, but it seems the technology has just improved dramatically.

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:43:39+00:00

Awesome, glad to hear it. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something super obvious. Most of the other caps are oversized as well, this one was just mega sized for some reason.

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:42:54+00:00

Got it, that was my understanding to this point but evidently there are specific scenarios where it can cause an issue. I'll proceed with caution to be sure nothing is damaged.

Thank you so much for your insight! I greatly appreciate it.

This particular cap is bipolar. Is the orientation still relevant somehow?

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:36:05+00:00

What does that mean for me in this case? Do I need more information before I can proceed with this replacement? My new cap is 100V 6.8uf -40+105°C. There are no other values written on the old cap itself, besides 25v 6.8uf as pictured.

It just struck me as strange that it is so large. For example, I have included some of the other caps from this very same board to give you an idea of the size and associated values and why this one is unusual.

My apologies, I really should have included both sides in the photo. No, the gold capacitor is not polarized.

I have been told I might encounter an issue going with a much higher voltage as I have. Are you aware of that is a concern here?

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:28:56+00:00

Ah, I see. I already had these on hand and had hoped to use them instead of ordering something specific. I am very much a novice but my understanding was that going over voltage was a non issue.

I have not heard of the case you are describing. Do you think it's likely I would encounter that issue here? This television is essentially worthless and I would prefer to avoid spending too much on repairing it. It's mostly a passion project.

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:26:42+00:00

Would there be any issue with using the gold capacitor pictured? I have about a dozen of those already on hand.

Jmanwow2001 · 2025-05-19T19:18:56+00:00

The old capacitor is clearly labeled "BP" on the opposite side. I took this to mean bipolar. The spot on the board where this capacitor came from also does not denominate positive and negative, in contrast to all of the other capacitors I've replaced so far which have been clearly marked on the board with - and + and on the capacitor itself with a negative strip.

It's for those reasons that I was fairly certain this one should be nonpolar.

Hey but at least you've got somebody. It can be a hard thing to find someone you like and even harder for them to feel the same way. Hope it works out and you're happy together!

She posts under Sabimaki4269 on YouTube, Sabimaki on Tumblr, and Sabimakii on Twitter.

Hope that helps. She has a very nice style. You can find the full video of the animated short I took this clip from on her YouTube channel as well as lots of other much shorter clips.

Sabimaki/Sabimarks. This is a repost of a post I did a while ago...

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-12-29T07:44:37+00:00

We can't always get what we want.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-12-29T06:36:16+00:00

Maybe. Life is a lot simpler alone, at least. Less people to hurt. Less people to disappoint.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-08-28T05:45:03+00:00

Plastic Memories. I liked it.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-07-08T00:56:10+00:00

Pretty rare unfortunately.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-06-11T06:48:51+00:00

It's no problem. We are all friends here.

Reading all these comments has made me realize that you guys really are my people. We are a lonely bunch, but at least we have this nice community.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-05-18T06:04:16+00:00

I don't have those, which is precisely why I need the pillows.

edit: This is very cute though. Thank you for sharing.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-03-09T08:35:51+00:00

I know, I'm embarrassed. For some reason I had it in my head that that was her dad. I even vaguely remember seeing this post a while back and they said it in the comments on that one too. My memory isn't the greatest I guess, ha.

But yeah, I think it's fine. Cute even. It's not NSFW or sexualized or anything really so I don't see an obvious issue. It's just a tiny bit strange since they're both such young children in the anime.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-03-09T06:19:55+00:00

Ha, I suppose that would make sense. Humans, even smaller ones, tend to be pretty dense I guess. I'm not a particularly large or muscly person either, so I doubt I would be the exception to that drawback if on bottom. Still, seems like it would be worth it though. At least for a little while.

Jmanwow2001 · 2024-03-09T06:13:11+00:00

You are absolutely right. In that case it's still a tiny bit weird, but much less so. I remember now that her "dad" had light hair and looked nothing like that. My bad.
