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 been working on a 1984 Sanyo 27" color TV which had a smattering of bad caps in the video switching circuit. I found this oddball little 1uF 25V cap which looks to me like an early polymer, but I can't find concrete info proving it. I know Sanyo was a big player in early polymer cap development and this is the time period where they were just getting on the market, so I'm wondering if anyone has crusty old datasheets that could help identify it and determine if my suspicions are right? It has the same epoxy end seal and font/formatting as some old stock Os-Cons I've got laying...
