power supply - Replacing broken capacitors with ones that have bigger capacitance



I have a Samsung 205BW screen, and over the time, the capacitors on the power board broke down. I have to wait up to 30 mins for them to warm up so I can use the screen. I bought replacement capacitors according to the youtube video how to replace samsung 205bw capacitors:



  • 4 x 1000uf 35v

  • 1 x 470uf 63v



But after I opened up the board, the capacitors I had installed were:



  • 5 x 820uf 25v

  • 1 x 330uf 25v


I also took pictures.


Is there a way to replace the broken capacitors with whatever I have?



Answer



I think it'll work as you want - there's a seriously good chance it won't hurt anything. After all 5 x 820uF (4100uF) is only a bit bigger than 4 x 1000uF.



The 470uF being a bit bigger than the 330uF shouldn't really be a problem. These won't be timing capacitors and if they are only on internal DC power lines going a bit bigger or a tad smaller shouldn't cause problems.


It's worth a shot.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
