Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers
Of course Panasonic is NOT among the badcap brands but the other day I repaired an ASUS PVL-D DSual Xeon Serverboard that had 4 defective "KZG" (820uF 6.3V) on it which I replaced with Nichicon FP polymer capacitors.
On the board there are also 8 Panasonic 1500uF 6.3V 105° CFJ / 5NIIIUS capacitors that turned out to have a capacity of only 450uF - 750uF left and ESRs of about 0.6 Ohms.
No visual signs of leakage / bulging could be found.
I replaced them with Nichicon HM of the same form factor (8x20mm) and the board is running perfectly again.
So I was a bit disappointed of the Pannies.
