I have several of these boards w/ bulging & leaking caps. Specifically 1500@6.3. These are coded FZ54 in a metal can.
Is there a direct replacement for these guys here ?
It's the classic Sacon FZ problem - the whole series is crap, they die a lot.
If I remember correctly you need to replace with capacitors that can do 1800-2000 mA (or higher) ripple and 22 mOhm (or less) impedance.
That's basically Panasonic FM/FR series, Nichicon HM/HN series... stay away from general purpose capacitors and stores like Radioshack.. they're not good enough.
This site should have replacement caps for you.
If you're in US digikey.com also has an easy to use search and order system.
In Europe, farnell.com may be better for you (less shipping charges)
