Re: Bad Rubycon, too?
I harvest as many bad rubycons these days as KZG's. mostly from USFF systems....but some aren't.... No cap is indestructible, given enough time and heat, the best lytics will spooge...<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Bad Rubycon, too?
I'm not allowed to touch any of the systems here with the iron or ESR meter; boss says just leave it, so I will! When it goes bad in a year's time, I can simply say "I warned you..." I also found another Dell (I think Optiplex 280) with a bad Nichicon HM but with 2006 date code - not in the 2001-2004 range for manufacturing defects, so I guess it just went bad on its own too. And a power supply with two bad Fukkyuus.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Bad Rubycon, too?
A guy I know who bought a pickup truck full of Pentium 4 Dells (mostly Optiplex GX270) and spent the weekend recapping them said he was surprised to find so many failed Rubycons next to the heatsink, but they weren't nearly as bad as the Nichicons in the same locations.
