          no pics, but i had one that launched the can, shredded the insides, and took the bung/wires off the board. and that's just PCB mounted caps!

          chassis mounted caps i've seen obliterate themselves, put a hole the wood cabinet, bend the metal they are mounted on, shatter the tubes around them, mangle the tuning cap and dent the main transformer.

          You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

          Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

              Wow, sound's like a damned bomb went off, funny thing with mine is it still worked perfectly fine, was in the back of a crappy LG plasma, 8 others were getting close......

                  What brand is that capacitor? The K vent suggests it might be Rubycon?

                          I don't remember but it being a crappy LG, more specifically a 50PC1D, I don't think Rubycon were used.

                              Blown capacitor repair on MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC
                              by MeetingIncapable
                              Hello,

                              I am new to repairing computer electronics, so excuse any mistakes I make.

                              A friend of mine had a broken graphics card (MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC) and gave it to me. It does not power on or show any signs of life.
                              I identified what looks like the remains of a blown capacitor at the bottom of the board (see picture).

                              I wanted to replace the capacitor, but I have two questions:
                              • Does this repair have a chance of working? or is a blown capacitor a sign something else is wrong?
                              • How do I determine the rating/value of this capacitor? or something
                              ...
                              C103 is blown

                              Samsung C32HG70 - Blown Ceramic Capacitor (CP813)
                              by NuclearSpartan
                              Hi everyone,

                              I'm new to this, so I apologize for not providing enough details. Is there anything else I need to mention? I'm trying to learn more about electronic/board repairs and hopefully fix my own.

                              The only visible issue on my board is one capacitor, CP813, which appears to be labeled R 221k 2kV (possibly obsolete to B 221k 2kV now). My monitor hadn't shown any prior issues, although it is a few years old. Just before the capacitor popped, there was a high-pitched squeal for 2–3 seconds.

                              I don't see any other visible damage anywhere else on the board....

                              Found a blown capacitor - is it necessary to replace?
                              by expertreader
                              Hi all, Acer Nitro 5 - GH51M LA-K862P Rev 1A motherboard. I went through all the troubleshooting steps but couldnt find a short on any coils. By chance, ended up finding a blown capacitor PCZ49 which is suppose to be 2.2uF. I can see plenty of 2.2uF in the same +5VALW line which will all parallel up anyway - do you guys think it is critical for this cap to be replaced or i can get away without one?...

                              Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

                              Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

                              Description:
                              During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
                              I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

                              Procedure performed:
                              - Removed backplate
                              - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
                              - Reapplied thermal compound
                              - Reassembled card

                              Observed behavior after reassembly:
                              - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

                              Please help me find 7 pin smd ic 901 part number in Delta DPS-300AB-76 LED Display Power Supply
                              by Gentian
                              I have a 5V 55A led Delta power supply with no output. I found this 7 pin IC 901 damaged as in the photo. All other elements look ok. I checked and every other surrounding componets diodes, resistors and capacitors look ok. I have 2 identical power supplies removed from a led wall which have the same defect with this ic burned but not a working one for reference. I founded by measurements that pin 7 goes to positive hot 450V 220uF electrolytic capacitor primary side. Pin 1, 2, 3, 4 connected together to pcb cooper trace. These four pins goes to negative side of 10uF 50V electrolytic capacitor...
