Nice save. That looked really frustrating 😤 but I felt your joy when you had that big capacitor on hand in a junk pile. And the final yay at 24.1 volts ⚡️ 😀.
I don't know what was the most exciting - finding the exact capacitor I needed in the first place I looked - or seeing that meter reading 24.1 volts!! 🤣🤣
Thanks for this, Chris - I learned a lot from watching the video and it was interesting. I guess there's value in that, even if it doesn't end up in your pocket! Keep up the great work - I always pick up some really useful things from your videos. 👍
In the 2000s If one capacitor in a board has expanded they all would most likely come from the same supplier. I have replaced thousands of capacitors in both Ocean Brand (which had a 100% failure rate) and Intel brand (about 2% failure rate) Computer motherboards, it seamed to be certain capacitor manufacturers that caused it, I would replace every capacitor in a board and I had a 99% success rate. And do not put them in backwards… they can go BANG!
End of the day, it's made by a Chinese OEM. The components, especially the capacitors, are not made to the same quality standards as Japanese or Korean competitors. This is still the case to this day. The set has done very well to last 15 years in all honesty.

Another win! and one more thing not to have to take to the landfill.
And I'll be able to sell it! It's a win all round! 😊😊
Nice work. 👌 The weird thing is that I find myself learning about stuff that I thought I had zero interest in. 🤣
Haha, that's the best comment ever Dee! 🤣🤣
Yeah Mate ...I think most of us learnt something here, thank you for your time, great video.
Many thanks mate! I certainly did! 😊👍

As I always say, "You can fix anything". Thanks fro sharing
Thanks Cynthia! I just don't like to be beaten! 🤣
Good job 'Sherlock', luckily it was all capacitors. 👍🧐
Thanks Alex! Yes, they are easy to swap out! They certainly seem to be the weakest link in a circuit!
Congratulations, on the repair !
Many thanks! I was chuffed with this one! 😊👍

Great video, Great patients. Congratulations🎉
Many thanks Wayne! 😊👍
Great job Chris. I think those capxon capacitor had quality issues back then 👍🙂
Certainly looks to be the case Dave! 🤔👍
Good job. Cheers Graham
Thanks Graham! 😊👍
Nicely done!
Thanks Bob! 👍😊
You should be getting huge rebates from the Landfill Head Offices (do they exist?) for your work, Chris!
Thanks Grant! I'll be sure to fill out my claim form and sent it to some probably non-existent government department! 🤣
Good fix! No Cap! 😆
Thanks Geoff! Maybe I should have worn one? 🎓🤣
Well done buddy
Thanks Daniel! 😊👍
wow and peace be upon you sir from me

Yes, I think it was a particularly bad era for poor quality caps! Luckily none went bang, so must have got them all correct! Thanks for watching 😊👍

Yep, I'm sure 15 years is outside its life expectancy! Thanks Jason 👍😊
