OK...how do I replace the capacitors? Can anyone give me an idea or point me to a good instructional on how to replace the capacitors?

Tom, By this point, you may have already found the info you needed. If not, the below link might be useful to you (enough folks were facing the problem, someone put the material together). Hope it helps! http://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/slingbox-solo-freezing-stuck-optimizing-losing-connection-check-the-capacitors/

I am not sure - suggest while you have it open to see if the capacitors are bulging - if they are, then I would replace them. You will also be able to confirm whether the specific capacitors in this kit are the exact ones you need.

The kit comes with all the different capacitors that you would need if you had to replace all of them. I only had to replace 3. I believe each capacitor has the voltage on them. I can't find my extra ones at this moment. I put them in a place where I would remember where they are but I don't remember at this moment. Hopefully I will be able to find them if I need them again! Hope this helps.

You could possibly get in contact with the maker directly, as far as replacing parts that have malfuntioned and or the unit itself. They offered me a few options, statrinng with replaceing two small parts that got mine working just fine.

I had the same problem, still under warranty, and the company refused to fix them. Do not send them back to B&O (who wanted $50 to fix mine). Go to a local electronics repair shop. I did that and had them fixed for $5.

Above and to the right of the display board (on the main board), look for a black capacitor (black round disk). I've had that blow twice already, and just replacing that fixes the system.

You must look at the capacitor. Remove the cover plate on the bottom and look at the little rectangular device with 3 or four wires. Be sure the fan is off ! Then try to match it to the ones available on the net. The values are rated in "uf" so you can compare them. Write down the colors of the wires and the connections, a close replacement will work. Hope this helps !

You need the error warning canceller capacitor. That happen to mine also and that fixed it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3DAY4I/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_u2K.ub0YB68RY

Match up the color of the wires. In my case two of them were reversed from the old capacitor, but if you simply match the colors it should work fine.

I'm not sure how much help I can be. Since the replacement capacitor did not include a plug, I just cut off the old cap below the plug and used wire nuts to attach the new cap to the old cap pigtails. That way I simply followed the color-coded wires.

It just might I replace all the bloated up capacitors basically no more noice and taking long on turning on. But if it has lines going up and down thats a picture board problem. Hope this helps.

Time to replace it. That's what mine did a few months before self-destructing (smoke, heat, etc). Probably a capacitor going bad, but that's just a guess...

A replacement cable may be needed; make sure it's balanced otherwise you'll keep getting a humming or buzzing. Best suggestion I have, always a good place to start though.

Hi Henry, were the wires on the old capacitor color coded, if so look at the diagram on both capacitor and the wires to determine, if they follow the same circuit, if they both follow the same circuit then you can go ahead and connect the wires. If you are not sure, please consult an electrician.

I would replace them all as the others will probably go next . I bought a kit to replace all . Did and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps

I had similair problem with my Samsung. I looked it up on YouTube.com and found that it was blown capacitors. Looked like and easy fix. Search Google and found that Amazon.com sold a capacitor repair kit. Also purchased a soildering iron and fixed it with ease! Under $30!! Good luck.
