I've wrongly connected 3 capacitors with the polarity inverted on my Xbox 360,it was not turning on,and after a few tries one blew up,I touched it and it was pretty hot,the other two were not.I then went and checked the polarity and I've saw that I connected all 3 inverted.Not important now,but the reason I did that was because there was a + near a circle to connect the capacitor,and that made me thought the positive hole was near that +,but that + was for another circle,and I used this to assume that the white portion of the circle was the positive side,but it was the negative.
So,the main point of the thread,besides obviously damaging the capacitors I connected inverted,could this in any way damage the other capacitors?After removing all 3 capacitors the xbox turn on without them,of course I will not use it like that,but at least I know it did not do any damage to board itself,but about the others capacitors I can't be sure.
