RB1000 works, but randomly hangs. No diodes light. Power off, on - it help.
After openning case - capacitor are leaked.
It is know problem on rb450/450G and another models…
It is sad that the Mikrotik flagship is mounted such capacitors ![]()

all caps have lifetime, how long this router was on?
I had some of those, too… It’s a real plague in the industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague
Conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors are also shown on this page ![]()

Hello. I know these capacitors. We will soldering - rb1000 again come alive ![]()
I’ll try to find out and write …
edit: Can you find out from the serial number? It would be faster
For somebody who is not familiar with capacitors like me, could you advise what type of polymer caps I should be looking for to replace bulged suscon 6.3V 560uf? Do I search for 6.3V 680uf polymer caps?
from S/N i can only tell when it was manufactured. And that is about 4 years ago.
Another rb1000 with bad caps. Same caps. It was working for a few years pretty well, until after a power loss the lan ports wouldn’t come back up (although the device booted successfully). Quickly replaced with a rb750gr3, and opened it up to see what’s happening, as I was suspecting some caps.
Of course, those 560uF caps were all leaked. Replaced them with 1500uF 10V and it works well.
If it’s still open, I was wondering what JP6 and JP5 are for. Any hints?
Thanks
