So, I had a RIFA moment. Also, hi.
One moment, the power supply to my Victor V386PX works great (a Mascot Type 8820 power supply rebranded to Victor), and the next it poofs and releases its magic smoke.
Yes, I *could* just get another 16V (or variable) DC power supply, or even a USB-PD based solution, but I figure I should at least *try* to fix this one. If I can't, I'll probably try to find a solution that fits in the original box.
There are (well, were, before I desoldered and took them out) 4 RIFA caps in it, two PME 275 MB, and two PME 285 MB (X2 marked). I figure it's probably worth replacing all four since the first two show visible cracks and the latter two blew up.
Trouble is, I don't know *what* to replace them with as I don't know how to read the markings, and can barely read any markings at all on the blown-up ones.
Help?
