How to Choose Replacement Capacitors and Resistors when re…
As a capacitor ages, it starts to behave more like a resistor (impeding and destabilizing current flow) rather than like a capacitor (stabilizing current flow), and when it fails, it will likely destroy
The FASTEST Way to Replace Capacitors
Tip1: If a capacitor has long enough leads exposed on the front side of the board, you can cut the capacitor off leaving the old leads and solder the new capacitor to the old leads. This method …
How to Discharge a Capacitor (with Pictures)
If the capacitor reads as having fewer than 10 volts, you don''t need to discharge it. If the capacitor reads anywhere between 10 and 99 volts, discharge it with a screwdriver. If the capacitor reads in the hundreds of volts, …
