I've read every inch of this forum and came to a basic conclusion that you recommend replacing caps around 1K or above. I determined many of the boards and power supplies I possess have the visible disease described in the value range most mentioned at this site. I am only curious for clarification purposes because I have boards, for example, with Chhsi caps down to 10uf @ 25V. Should I replace the 470, 68, and 10s or just the 1200 and 1500 values? Please clarify because i have about 25 of one board to do and 5 others that have some values below 1K in Lelon, Teyeh, etc. BTW I thought I was the only one three years ago finding badpower supplies with blown main caps! Thanks for making me feel akin to others with the same damn problem.
P.S. I'm not a "tree-hugger" or anything like that, but what happens to all of this cheap Communist Chinese produced comsumer electronics that look pretty, but only last a short time. It satisfies the demand for instant gratification of the North American consumer, but what happens when it's crapped out and the consumer only knows to throw it out. Throw it out where? This is bad ju-ju people. We as consumers have created our own worst nightmare. The Chinese say, "why repair, just buy a new one". (with a smile on their face) We have sucker written on our face because we are enslaved by greed to the Chinese and are at their mercy. Wake up! The American Dream is not American anymore!
