Hello, i have a [i think] 10 year old power supply.
This power supply has been waiting to be repaired for 8 years now.
i opened it up to see what went wrong and i noticed that 2 1000uf 16V caps had vented and a 220uf 35v cap was on the verge of venting.
Capacitors brand: suncap
I had 2 power supply's of this kind but the other one was in WAY worse condition so i scrapped it.
Now with this one removing the caps may be a bit tricky do to how everything is arranged inside and because there's this weird rubbery glue holding them down.
Finding the right caps to replace the dead ones in here will be tricky too since the caps can only have a max diameter of 10mm and a max height of 15mm [if i want to get it back into it's original case.]
If i was to guess why the cap failed in the first place i would say it was because of the capacitor plague.
Here's a photo of the caps...
Also the legs on the transistor in front of the caps look rusty.
Thanks
