Had a cap in an analogue scaler that was having some flickering display issues. It was just raised the tieniest of bits, almost undetectable. Eyeballed it for a good 10 minutes, decided it would not hurt to replace it anyway, it fixed the problem :")
I can see them either bulge or vent (stains on other parts or boards) and before I remove them to put them on the Atlas ESR tester I can tap them and feel/hear that they are dried out .. If I take a cap off to test it, I usually just replace it anyway if it's a board of any age as they will go bad at some point..
If you have low voltage, I have seen that cause a low voltage issue on a power supply. Capacitors are used to add delays into circuits. That the way you don’t get the full say 120VAC into a power supply before going to the transformer as soon as you turn the power switch on.
Hi! I have exactly the same issue with glue from big caps flooding the PCB on my Tascam 424MK3. Personally, I am not sure that this is the electrolyte, but I will try to replace them anyway. Few questions: - I see that the R7 resistor is cut from your board. What is the reason? - The T902 transformer, do you know whether it is possible to find a replacement for it? After my FL display stopped working I immediately started to hear a weird sound of this T902 transformer. Not sure whether it is broken, but curious on whether the replacement is possible. I've checked the replacement manual and some people told me to not have a hope as this transformer is pretty unique.
Great channel. Great help. Only thing is, i have this tascam 414 on which the sound keeps dropping out. It’s no power problem, it keeps going but the audio drops out and after a few seconds it comes back in only to drop out again for a few seconds. Any ideas?
Sounds like an intermittent contact. Check the faders are cleank, and the sodler joints below them are clean. If its not that somethign else might be dirty or have a bad sodler connection.
@Tetrakan where abouts are you based? would you like to come along to a TH-cam meetup in Scotland with big Clive ? Also would you be interested in a short trip to Boston USA to a meetup with several TH-camrs ?
would be nice if ( All Sick electro Caps ) were Swollen on the top

Noted, thanks.

Thank you for not screaming into the microphone.
Hi, I got a hum noise on my tascam 424 when a playback , not while recording, any suggestion?
Thanks.
Could be a dissconected common ground cable, or a faulty eolectrolytic capcitor allowing junk from the ground to enter the audio path.

I’m in the Highlands. A Scottish meet-up is feasible/ appealing, the American one not so much, I’m skint!
Thanks mate for the information
