Troubleshooting Power Issues

8.

While doing the power supply repair, inspect the capacitors (highlighted below) on the

logic board, looking for signs of bulging and/or venting.

9.

Affected capacitors will have a “+” sign stamped into the top of the capacitor.

Note:

Not all capacitors stamped with a “+” sign are faulty, so further inspection is required to

determine whether one or more of the capacitors are faulty.

Warning:

Use caution when handling failed electronic components, and make sure

to wash your hands afterwards.
