BeoPlay V1-40: Smoked power supply
4 replies
Hi all
I just got a BeoPlay v1 (40"), type: 9694, Serialno.: 25066902.
I has been in storage for a long time and when I plugged it in smoke started to come out from and a horrible smell appeared. I pulled the power immediately.
Having pulled the TV open and Google'd around a bit it seems that it's the X2 film capacitors that have blown up (see picture).
My questions to you gurus are:
1 - What are the exact specifications for those capacitors?
2 - Where can I buy them (I’m located in Denmark)?
3 - Are there other components that most likely will have failed at the same time?
4 - What could be the reason for them blowing up?
Looking forward to get expert input on this.

My mission now is to replace these capacitors and see if the TV will work again.
If you are more lucky than me and get away with removing the supercar without board damage you might just have to clean up any leaked stuff from the capacitor. Be aware that the supercap is difficult to desolder because there is a massive group plane in the board in this area that will suck the heat away from your soldering iron. An easier solution might be to just leave the legs in the board, and solder wires to a new supercap and place it in the expansion bay like I did. You can try to inspect the area that are below the supercap in normal position to get an idea about any leakage. I have yet to have issues (and have not yet inspected) my primary V1 which has been in normal use for around 12-13 years now, so it might not be an issue.
Hi Mads
Thank you very much for you valuable input - highly appreciated and just what I was looking for.
I will check on the super capacitor on the large PCB tomorrow and assess if it needs to be replaced.
For the X2 filter capacitors will this one work (given the distance between the legs is correct)?:
