I have to see insides of everything.
So first thing I do is take it apart, everything..
Some people have opened up bad caps and good caps to compare or just see the toasted plates.
When a row of caps are positioned up against a heatsink, specially in a PSU,
one side of cap is hot and one side cool.
If the cap were removed and defoiled, will it show in the burn pattern?
I would think the foil would show scorching only on the hotter side, didn't pay attention to how bad cap came out to make this comparison.
