The caps fail because they are Samwha, in my opinion, second worse cap manufacturer in world, only behind CapXon…

I didn't see the fall. I just got it from a friend and I thought it would be fun to try and get it functional again. I'm an amateur, so I'm going to take small manageable steps for now and work up my skills and toolset to the point where I can keep up a bit better with you guys. I have taken MITx's 6.002 Circuits and Electronics course though. So I have some low level understanding. I'm interested in learning more. :-)

I ordered the FR caps.
