This board was never really stable, and lately it has gotten worse. I open it up regularly and check it over and have not seen anything up to now.
One of the KZGs on the VRM input has popped.
Im going to recap the the whole board 470uf and up as with the exception of the UCCs on the VRM it is covered in OST.
I think I have decided on this list of replacement caps. I was largely limited by what was in stock at mouser since digikey didnt appear to have any capacitors that could match the KZGs. I ended up with a series or two better than what was needed to match the spec of the originals.
4x 3300uf 6.3v 10x25mm nichicon HZ was UCC KZG
3x 1500uf 16v 10x20mm nichicon HZ was UCC KZG
13x 1000uf 6.3v 8x11.5mm nichicon HM was OST RLP
1x 470uf 16v 8x15mm panasonic FM was OST RLX
