IIsi Sony PSU cap list

Anyone have a FULL cap list for the IIsi Sony PSU? The one I found (on maccaps.com) seemed to be missing some (it only showed like 10 and I counted at least about 13). I want to replace ALL caps in my PSU.

Worst case, I can disassemble the PSU and get the values, but a list would make things a little easier.

Done one yersterday, the ones that goes bad are the 2200 µf /16 volt (4 of them) the 220 µf and both smd in the small board.

The ones in the primary side are ok most of the time.

And yes those are bad leakers.

Yeah, the ones in the primary side do look fine but I think I’m gonna just go ahead and change them for good measure.

replaced capacitors on one of those, the PSU works, but won't turn off (try but reboot the IIsi) any idea ?

That controller board is the most problematic part of the Sony PSUs in these models, in my experience - I've got one that even after recapping and cleaning it does the whole "shut down, then boot right back up again" that you're describing.  That one looked just like yours, nice and gunky, with some pretty bad trace rotting.  On the plus side, the PSU itself works fine - it seems to just affect the power-down circuitry.

I agree, mine was pretty clean, far better that the one in the picture, but some goo can still be present.

That picture I posted isn’t mine, it’s from maccaps.com. Mine actually looked a little bit worse that the one in that picture!
