I just got in a Kaleidescape KPlayer-300. It works for the most part, other than randomly rebooting several times a day. I took it apart and it seems to have several bad capacitors which could explain the symptoms. There are 3 2200uf caps that appear to be Panasonic and are slightly bulged. In the third picture, I am holding up a new Panasonic FC cap next to the board. The medium sized 220uf and 330uf caps look like they could be bulging also.
This box runs very hot even though the fans are working. I know this would cause even good caps like Pansonic to degrade over many years. So which caps should I replace? Just the 3 large 2200uf's? Or should I do the medium ones too?
