    Bad Samxons, and they're NOT GFs!

    Cracked open an Acer V173b, symptoms are a flashing orange light. Found two bloated Samxon GKs (these aren't GFs, but are hunter green like them). Anyone else ever encounter bad Samxon GKs? I always though the GF was their lemon

    Looking through my stash of bad capacitors, I see Samxon GK as well as GF. GF are "known" to be bad.

      I have never liked Samxon, any of 'em.

        I only trust the GD, GC, and RS series. I avoid the rest.
        I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

          I have had KF Samxons die, too. In an LG LCD TV. In general, I don't like them much - too iffy on reliability.
