    Looks like he used Nich HE too. Totally unsuited to that application
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      Gotta love it. "Oh, these two caps failed prematurely, surely they were just duds and the other ones should be fine!" I give them credit for at least trying though

        I don't think you can since they left one blown cap.

          ...And installed one of the new caps the wrong way around!

              Cheap capacitors is one thing
              Fake polymer capacitors is a whole different thing

                They're not "fake polymers", they're just sleeveless electrolytics. Even Panasonic makes those, although Panasonic's are good.
