Partial Bulging on Top?

[JRS]

Picked up a used Lenovo few years old for an in-law and was checking it over before I turn it over. I am familiar with and have replaced obviously domed caps before. I was wondering about a few caps on this MB.

They have a K imprint on top and although some are almost perfectly flat, some seem to have a bit of a bulge in one section or more of the K. Overall though, they are not domed. Might this be normal for this type or are they perhaps starting to go bad? No other signs of leaking and such I have seen in the other threads.

The caps are Suncon WG 1000mF 6.3v Tried to get some decent pics.

Thanks much!

They should be OK, if they're not domed.

Suncon are basically the old Sanyo electrolytic capacitors, the Sanyo were a good brand with good reputation, so these Suncon shouldn't be any different.
Sanyo got out of capacitor business and they sold the factory to a group of people that included the old employees of that factory... or something like that.

It will get worst with random locked up and crashes:
