Okay. Bei den PSU Recaps sollte man wissen, was man tut. Ob das Recap immer notwendig ist, ist eine andere Frage. EIn neuer Optokoppler ist leider nicht enthalten.

Recapping scheint ja groß in Mode zu sein...

Recapping scheint ja groß in Mode zu sein...

Spekulatives Teiletauschen, eben. Den Ausdruck habe ich vom YouTuber CuriousMarc "geklaut":

There were of course the predictable comments that I should just (a) replace all the caps and (b) swap it for a new supply. [...] I'm not going to do either of those two. The first one, which is just speculative part swapping, would only repair the supply by just pure stroke of luck. Now, you might have lucked out once or twice, or you might not have the equipment of knowledge to do any better, but you should still try. Debugs based on speculation won't get you very far. On the other hand, if you are capable of understanding what is happening, you will be able to repair every circuit every time and won't be tossing away perfectly good components.

... wobei er dort immerhin ein defektes Netzteil hatte. Es ist ja auch in Mode, bei perfekt funktionierenden Geräten unsinnigerweise alle Kondensatoren zu tauschen.
