I have electronic devices from 1990 and I know that these devices that have not been used for a long time cause faults and depolarization in the electrolytic capacitors, is it necessary to use these devices in the interval of 1x a month to preserve the electrolytic capacitors from failing due to disuse? are used electrolytic capacitors manufactured since 1990 and assembled in electronic circuit

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s
consoles are probably fine.
the tv is a differrent story.
electrolytic capacitors fail with a combination of time and HEAT or high-voltage.
consoles like you listed dont really cook themselves.
i'v not seen in a ps2 slim, but it's probably all smd stuff - not something to work on if you dont have to.
if it still works fine and you cant see or smell any leakage then leave alone when it comes to smd caps.
you stand a reasonable chance of damaging the board trying to remove them.

Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

The thing about caps dying from disuse really only happened with vintage (read: antique) electronics e.g. paper caps from the 1930s. Of course, crap caps can also fail just by looking at them (and crappy AAA batteries in remotes, cough, Duracell, cough - measures 1.51V but leaking like a sieve), but consoles rarely ever cheap out on caps.Last edited by Heihachi_73; 10-06-2021, 12:23 AM.

Re: Question electrolytic capacitor from 1990`s
The reform of the electrolytic capacitor will need to be carried out periodically but I have doubts if this reform can be done by plugging the electronic device into the wall socket, I have electronic devices from the early 90's eg Snes consoles, PS2 Slim TVs CRT
Does the maximum time to carry out this reform depend on the age and brand of the electrolytic capacitor? in the worst case (brand and capacitor from the beginning of the 90s) what is the minimum time for reform?
