Hi Rob,
By the way I just noticed a 15uF/25V one next to the
fan connector. It isn't
one of the SXF ones as far as I can tell, do you recall replacing it?
My notes indicate it is a Chemi-Con SM, a general purpose 85?C part. I
did replace it at least once, in one of my H7826s that didn't actually get
to leaking (yet?) and was still in a working condition. I suspect doing
the replacement didn't really matter, as measuring the original gave
reasonable readings for its class.
I also have a later revision of H7826 which has LXF rather than SXF
capacitors and this one looks really clean, almost like new, and also
works correctly. I am in two minds about recapping this one, because
despite of the good shape of the PSU my sources indicate the LXF parts
have also suffered from the quaternary ammonium salt syndrome. I'll yet
check the ESR for any suspicious raise.
