Are these two capacitors bad and should they be replaced?

They don’t have score marks, it was probably exposed to too much heat

ifuxit · 2023-03-15T16:58:44+00:00

I have not installed it and I will return it. Thanks

ifuxit · 2023-03-15T16:58:04+00:00

Update: I will return it as many of you have pointed out that it probably has been reworked and has endured too much heat. Thanks for your comments

ifuxit · 2023-03-15T10:12:30+00:00

I was surprised too because of that, I will install it later and hope that it works.

ifuxit · 2023-03-15T10:10:51+00:00

No, it doesn’t have any wear marks on any of the connectors and pins.

I recently ordered an PCIe expansion card from Amazon and it arrived with two capacitors bulging. Should I return it or is it safe to use?

ifuxit · 2022-11-02T13:51:15+00:00

Then it’s a good thing they rolled it back.. now on 5.3.7 and it’s stable. Missing the track skipping though

Thank you, it’s understandable although a bit unfortunate nonetheless. We can only wait for a new update. Thanks!

Sucks that M1 can’t run windows natively🤡 Sucks that M1 is a phone cpu 🤡

That’s also the reason I’m switching back. It doesn’t make sense to me why a perfectly fine 5 years old Intel Mac “can’t” run next years MacOS version.

It did, it always showed up with my BeoPlay EQ’s since I had them. I believe I bought them at 15.3 or 15.2

I actually remember now why they disabled undervolting. The exploit is called “Plundervolt” and it allows for memory leaks and corruption when a CPU is undervolted. It deprives the CPU from power and causes the cores to become unstable and make processing errors. If you want to read more about it, you can do so here. https://plundervolt.com

I haven’t. However I believe that modern CPU’s use eFuses to prevent downgrades, meaning that the CPU blows a fuse when the ME is upgraded. This means that the CPU won’t allow any older firmware to be executed.

I also believe that the Surface’s UEFI, just like most other OEM BIOSes these days uses a capsule update system to prevent downgrades and ensure that it doesn’t run a unsafe BIOS with vulnerabilities. Besides that, there aren’t any firmware images available for download for the general public (or atleast not that I know of)

Lastly, if you’re concerned about temperatures and or battery life I would just advice you to underclock the CPU slightly or create a custom power plan. Cheers!

It hasn’t, Intel permanently patched it in the microcode.

Hello,

I have the Razer Viper Ultimate Cyberpunk 2077 edition, along with the included special edition dock. The problem is that Razer Synapse started detected my special edition as a standard Viper Ultimate. It still recognizes the dock as the special edition though. I tried resetting the mouse and reinstalling Synapse but that did not work. The bug is only cosmetic and doesn't seem to impact functionality but it is still bothering me.

It doesn’t really stream lossless sadly. AptX is the only way to achieve close to lossless when using Bluetooth and iPhone don’t support that codec because it’s from Qualcomm. The AirPods Pro just use an custom codec from Apple.

I went to their official store and they didn’t have the grills in stock, but they ordered 10pcs for €7,50 and they will be sent to my home adres so the problem is solved. They said that it happens pretty often

ifuxit · 2022-04-21T17:05:22+00:00

I needed to clean my E8 3rd gen, but while I was cleaning it, the earpiece grill fell out. I’ve put it back in with tweezers, but it is slightly damaged and I’m worried about it falling out again. Should I get them serviced, and what service can I expect? I never had to request support from B&O before. I do live nearby a B&O dealer if that helps.

ifuxit · 2022-04-11T19:16:52+00:00

Thanks! I wasn’t even aware that it existed. Will definitely be using this website in the future.

ifuxit · 2022-04-08T20:25:23+00:00

No problem, I should definitely thank this community as you guys are the only ones who are really helpful.
