Toshiba DVD Player Capacitor Fix

[dannyhindes]

Anyone had luck with just removing C928? Only works if C927 and C929
happen to still be good. I am about to give it a try, just removing
C928.

Then if that doesn't fix it, I'll replace C929 and see if that does
it.

I found another reference on the web - supposedly by someone claiming
to be a Toshiba techie - who claimed that C928 could be left out.

Replace C927, C928, AND C929.

Those 100 microfarad caps are cheap, so you might as well replace all the
suspected caps so you won't have to go back into it again. Be sure to get caps
that have a voltage tolerance that is at least 25 volts. You can go higher
than that without worry; a higher voltage rating simply means that the cap will
run cooler in this particular application. - Reinhart

UPDATE on my Toshiba DVD Player:

I first tried removing C928 to no avail. So I broke down and replaced
all the noted capacitors. I had trouble removing the leads from the
plated through holes, so I snipped the bad CAPs' bodies off, and
piggy-backed the new devices on the back of the board - I just
hot-glued them on, and formed their leads to make surface-mount style
solder joints.

Now it is running fine!

Thanks to all...
