Hi to all,
I am trying to repair my sons PC power supply.
The cause of the breakdown is the usual swelled caps - 4 of which are 470uF 16v which I had on hand and the other culprit is a 400v 1uF that I can't find anything even close in my electrolytic box.
The only capacitor I have that is 1uF and rated 400v is the large poly type MKS.
Since this is a complex SMPS I cannot be certain what the capacitor is doing and wondered what if any harm would be done by using the MKS until I can get a correct one?
Failing that is there any way of using multiple electrolytics as a substitute?
