    Hi there, 10uf would probably still work, but the 220uf is the specification needed as stated in the technical sheet for the Sony video chip. It’s likely you won’t get a strong enough signal through the cable, and you’ll find that it won’t function on every tv that you plug it into.

    This MATT is hidden FOR A REASON! My friend just followed his replacement and improvised with a 220 instead of 2 capacitors of 105 each. I wish I could send Matt my prayers - because I cannot, I continue to pray for his good sake. The reason that is still not recognised by my mac Airport Utility is with the Mac version (iphone version). After I use a Windows utility or get Mac/iPhone to see it, I will every day pray for your health, dear Matt! Because my Airport Express now lights as a new one.

    Hi friend, I just came across your VDO. I have a question. I have a Denon 2000f mk2 and a Denon 2500F but the 2500F My CD tray wouldn't play, so I took the CD tray from my 2000f mk2. Put it in the 2500F machine instead. It appears that the power goes into the CD and reads the disc, but no sound comes out. I would like to know what is causing the sound to not be output. Or is it because of the Main PCB? It's a different model, but I saw the Main PCB for the 2000F model on Ebay. I can buy it to fit it. 2000F mk2? Now I want to revive an old CD player that I used to play with a long time ago. Please help with any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

    Hi there, you can buy capacitors from any electrical wholesale shop. In the UK CPC Farnell or RS components are the usual. Or from eBay. Good quality capacitor makes are rubycon, nichicon or Panasonic. For the voltage and capacitance it’s written on the side you can always go with a higher voltage NEVER lower. And it’s also important that the capacitance is also the same.

    Opening a case like this should not destroy it when you know how. This is the type you have to crack open cause there is a bit of glue in the groove. You only have to take a large but slim flat screwdriver and knock on the groove with a hammer such a way to crack open the groove-glued. Then, ply appart. I did so many times (small black psu, modem, remote, etc.) Be patient, secure the device not to move, watch your fingers. It saves the box.
