CH288 CHASSIS BOARD SCHEMATIC HELP!!
« on: August 06, 2023, 10:50:34 am »
So I've done some due diligence and taken photos of most of my caps when I take them off the board. But at the start of this while waiting for the caps to come I took some off and now I can't remember what they were! Does anyone have a easy to read schematic or even cap kit that was used for this particular chassis if so it would be much appreciated 👍

is the PCB not stencilled in any way? on newer PCBs caps are often given a picture of  half-and-half shaded circle, which indicates polarity (though the odd manufacturer insisted on showing things in reverse). I have no idea how old your chassis is though.

one should remove components one at a time.

especially with capacitors, as you can tell the orientation as you pull it out.

also, there is tons of pics on google. you should be able to see what you are missing from them. google "ch288 chassis" and select images
