It will depend on the postion of the capacitor on circuit board. If the capacitor is used as a smoothing reservoir, do not use a less capacity value, other than already soldered now. For others, you can.

SOURCE: Capacitor Voltage

If the 35 volts fit in the space provided for the 16 volts, is OK to use them but they must be 1000uF.

SOURCE: capacitor size

Sure- that's the maximum rating. In fact, if Polaroid had used 35v rated caps in the first place, we probably wouldn't all be replacing them.

BTW another replacement that worked perfectly here.

SOURCE: Failed Repair Job. A friend of mine called a

replacing the 10V caps with 25V caps is perfectly fine. In fact, if it was manufactured like that, those caps may not have blown.
Replacing a 680uF with a 1000uF could be problematic depending on it's function.
680uF is pretty specific when 500uF and 1000uF are much more common and therefore cheaper - one would think that the engineers would have tried using those in the design rather than a 680uF - makes me think the value of the cap is important to the frequency of the circuit it's in.
Other concerns might be whether he got any of them in backwards or not.
That's a rookie mistake, but still an easy enough one to make (for a rookie).
Also, with that many swollen caps, I wonder if there were any that leaked out the bottom before swelling at the top (IE - if some caps were missed in the replacement procedure)
Also, with that large a number of caps gone, other components may have been compromised or blown.
I'd be testing the transistors around those caps (most likely punched through rather than open), looking for fusible links (surface mount fuses, 0 OHM resistors) that may have opened up etc.
The initial attack on the problem was basically correct, and in many cases probably would have fixed it (if say the 680uF cap was functioning as a ripple filter).
But when that didn't fix it, a deeper analysis should have been done to complete the repair (including locating a 680uF cap).

I have a Philips 37PF9631D/37 which has 6 times blinking red light syndrome. After opening up it appears there are two 250V 820 uF capacitors that may be faulty. Are these safe to...

Look for bad capacitors on power supply board they will be vented or swollen on top.
1000uf 16v 3300uf 10v 330uf 10v. Look for boards on shopjimmy.com
Also check the fuse on the inverter board it maybe bad.

PLTV3250 have a blue screen. It won't power on

Hello

Probably a power supply - if you open the back of the tv (if you have electronic experience) find the power supply look for bulged capacitors and replace them.

power supply unit problem you have bad caps (capacitors) change all the caps or at least the ones that are leaking how do you see if they bad usually they are bold on the top instead of flat. change it with a higher voltage but the same UF. if it shows 10V-1000uf you change to 16V-1000uf or if it fits a 25V-1000uf.

37mf23id magnavox takes 15 min to come on . its a magnavox which is made by philips

You need to replace the power board,Or replace the capactors on it.
Replacing the capactors is the best idea.They are under rated at 10volt insted of 16volt or higher. They cost less too. If you replace the board,you will still have the same problem again later. They are usualy 680uf 10v,1000uf 10v,2200uf 10v,and 3300uf 10v. Replace them with the same uf but 16v or 25v EXPANPLE use... 1000uf 16v or 1000uf 25v
They are polorised Blak spot on board is the - side of cap. Stripe on cap is -. The caps. swell if they are bad. The tops round out,or the X on top breaks anfand black or brown goo comes out. Top should be flat. It I can assist you further please feel free to ask. [email protected]

Trutech TV PLV16320 - Power Supply Caapacitor Values

I take it you didn't save the capacitors?Or you just don't know what hole they came out of?I have someone that is supose to be sending me their power board from the same model TV.When I get it,if I do,I will let you know what they are.I did replace the bad ones on a 26" Trutech,and to me,they appeared to have the same board.If you wanted to take the chance,and replace the ones I did,here is what they were.Mine had three different diameters as well,but two had different voltages,and height.The measurements read diameter,and then height.(2) 35V 1000UF 13MM X 22MM (1) 25V 680UF 10MM X 16MM (1) 35V 680UF 10MM X 20MM (4) 10V 1000UF 8MM X 14mm When you do go to replace them,you can get ones with a higher value on both specs,but not lower.For example,if there is a 10V 1000UF,and a 16V 1000 UF,you can replace them both with 16V 1000UF,and it will work perfect.You can also use different heights as well,as long as there is enough room.How is the big black 450V 150UF,and the 400V 10UF capacitors?You have to check the bottoms of them as well.I had fixed one that these were the only two that were bad.I hope this helps.If you have any other questions,please let me know.Thank You very much!

Little pan shaped objects

Here is a link to the ones I used to fix my TV.You will have to look at the ones that are bad in your TV to find out the size you need.You should try to get it as close as you can to the original one.You can get one with a higher value on both specs,but not lower.For example,mine had a 10V 1000UF 8MM in diameter,and a 16V 1000 UF 10MM in diameter,and I replace them both with 16V 1000UF in diameter,and it worked perfect.You can also use different heights as well,as long as there is enough room.I hope this helps.If you have any other questions,please let me know.Thank You very much!
