I used aluminum electrolytic 10uF 16V caps, purchased from digikey. P/N USA1C100MDD-ND NICHICON CAP ALUM 10UF 16V 20% RADIAL If I had not already ordered the caps, I would have ordered 'these non-polarity ones' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?71914-SB3-volume-output-lower-on-left-than-right-channel&p=851444&viewfull=1#post851444). Opening the sb3 is quite easy, you just need a Torx 10 (T10) screwdriver. http://lowtek.ca/roo/2011/squeezebox-classic-repair/ Remove the 2 x T10 screws from the back and then remove the front face plate. With the face plate removed, unscrew the 4 x T10 screws from the front and slide out the "guts". It's one piece. I cut the capacitor leads down close to the size of the original surface mount caps. 20353 20354 I attached the new caps with the same polarity as the original. I opened a 3 year newer logitech sb3 to see if logitech had switched the polarity of the caps, but they have not. They were the same as in my original sb3. If they fail again.....I'll try them the other way. Before. 20355 Original capactors removed. 20358 New ones installed. 20357 All back together now and both the analog out and headphone jack are working great! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 8.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20358| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Ralphy *1*-Touch, *5*-Classics, *2*-Booms, *1*-Reverted UE Radio 'Squeezebox client builds' (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4q8dvq20iyz9e/Builds) 'donations' (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=LL5P6365KQEXN&lc=CA&item_name=Squeezebox%20client%20builds¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donate_SM%2egif%3aNonHosted) always appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103213 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
