If you're dead set on getting the correct color, you can paint it. A properly done paint job will look OEM, and stay that way as long as you don't chip it. It can be protected with a satin clear coat which does help. A lot of people here really disagree with paining, but it is up to you. It is …

I just reviewed earlier in the post. I recommend you use the caps outlined previously: Replace capacitors Rubycon YXG 1000uF 6.3v 8x16mm ESR= 0.087 Ω IRip= 840 mA with capacitors Nichicon UHE 1000uF 6.3V 8x15mm ESR = 0.087 Ω IRip = 840 mA Replace capacitors Nichicon HD 1500uF 6.3v 10x20mm ESR= 0. …

Fair enough. Ideally you'll still have the old caps or will have documented the manufacturer and series markings so we can find you a close match. They'll probably be either low or ultra low ESR caps, so I could potentially guess, but I'd prefer not to. So do I need low or ultra low esr https://tr. …

Ah, the infamous F*k-YU caps as we call them. One of the top 5 competitors for the title of: "Worst Capacitors Ever Made". Just FYI. TMR is basically an OEM channel version of TM. Those marked just TM were sold through retail channels. (I might have that exactly backwards but you get the idea.) …
