I have a Maplin store a few miles away, do the stores stock all the stuffMaplin.co.uk should sell them, will cost a couple of quid for postage
though.
My Videosender popped a capacitor after the 'kids' plugged it into a 12v
supply.
The capacitor that blew is a 100uF 25v, does anyone know where i can buy
just ONE of these in the UK?

I'll have a look around for a close match.Yes normally, your options are to A) ring in advance, or B) fit a
of a slightly different value if they have them in stock, e.g. higher
voltage rating or slightly different capacitance.
I'm in Glasgow, I think I'll pop out to the local Maplins and see what newWhere are you based? I could give you one if you were local, or
alternatively, if you knocked on the door of a local electronics firm they
might give you one.
Damn, I knew someone would say that.Just swapping a blown cap may not fix the circuit. It might work for
an indefinate amount of time, but typically there is unseeable damage
elsewhere. Good luck.
Ok, so the capacitance MUST remain 100uF but the voltage can be as high as iMost capacitors are married to a circuit.
Therefore if you want a SINGLE one you will have to desolder it.
Ask a TV repair shop for some old trash circuit boards and you will
likely end up with a few 100uF caps. It's ok to use one with a higher
voltage rating.

i
like, but not less than the original 25v?

help us to understand if other things will have gone wrong. I'd beWhen you say it popped - do you mean it literally blow up? And plugged
into a 12V supply - what is the proper voltage AC or DC and voltage? > may
The capacitor exploded, lolsurprised if only a capacitor was affected - did they connect the voltages
the wrong way round?

The capacitor exploded, lol
The unit takes 9v AC, AFAIK they gave it 12v AC the correct way round.

Well, I don't know to be honest.And having removed the mess - does it actually not work? I mean, lots of
circuits will "sort-of" work without the capacitors, just get a bit noisy
or
lossy.
Never go lower than rated voltage.On Thu, 14 Aug 2003 09:36:22 GMT, "stu" <ad7@bluer.co.uk> wrote:
