    Capacitor Question

    I buy non working monitors to repair and sell them. I have noticed that a seven year old monitor that have low ESR value on Capxcon, Suscon, Lelon and most of the caps that are listed on Badcap .com.

    Should I trust those capacitors that look and test fine or should I just replace all caps? I have been doing this for about a year and so far I have a good track record with no monitor returns.

    Thanks

    Since you live in the USA, you have access to high quality capacitors from reputable distributors for relatively little cost (especially if you buy in quantities of 10 or 50).

    With that in mind, I saw this quote recently ...

            I save the non bloated bad quality name caps for uncertain projects or as "test" caps.
