Bad Sanyo

[DixiePenguin]

Well, It would seem that Sanyo lytics are not immune from problems. The photos are of a 1500uf 6.3 WX Sanyo. Location is between the AGP and PCI 1 slots on a MSI MS-6373. I don't think it was a cascade failure as board was recapped completely by someone using Sanyo, UCC, and Rubycon.

The location may be the killer depending on the video card or PCI cards involved. Odd though that only that one cap appears to have failed. I am going to replace it and see if the board recovers.

I've seen quite a few bad Sanyo WX series caps on Acer 5200 series PC's. A corporate client sent me about 40 of them to recap a while back.

There are counterfeit Sanyos around - examine it carefully to see if the fonts, vents, finish, etc. look OK.

Re: Bad Sanyo

Any quality electrolytic cap can fail, it just takes long-term exposure to a higher amount of heat to make any cap (even Rubycon caps) fail.
