It depends whether it really needs bipolar caps. If it does, then you use two caps in parallel, opposite polarity, so that the result is the same as the single cap. If it doesn't, then a single cap at double the voltage, will work, assuming you get the polarity right. On Mon, 20 Jul 2015, H~ARSFALVI Levente wrote: > Hi!, > > > I'm about to fix a 8296D.
