ZOOM H1 recorder (No power)

[odik]

guys can anyone help me with my zoom h1 recorder?
problem: No Power(already change diff batteries) / Computer cant detect it

1st i opened it & checked it visually for burns but its clean. cleaned the switch and still no power
one thing i have notice is once u have connected it tru usb on a computer the middle 1 capacitor of those 3 capacitors with the black marker heat up fast.
**see attached photo** not the actual photo of my unit
the capacitor present in my unit is a W4 330 6v
since i have noticed it heat up and since the computer cant detect it I disconnect it instantly..

pls help me guys..thanks

i saw some forums that some zoom h1 had bad capacitors.i also wanted to check the capacitor but i dont know how.

Check the resistance across the capacitor, it should start at 0 ohms and climb up. If it doesn't climb upwards, it just stays low or stays still, it definitely needs replacing.

Hot smt capacitors are bad news. Remove and fit  a new one.

Change any others that appear to have fluid under them or are associated with the power circuits
