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. /Kasper

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)?:

That would be the one I would pick if you can for sure verify that the broken ones says 100N
