Re: How bad are Ost caps realy?

Got several boards here acting up 1 with OST leakers on it.. Seem like all the 6.3v 1000uf caps.. some draining out the bottom and some squirted from the top without bulging.. The first board is a red MSI budget build.. Has a MS-7142 with 14 of em on it and 9 are leaking.. Funny thing is when I opened the case it kind of smelled like a cat took a piss in there.. I work on lots of office equipment and have seen burned up stuff but never leaking electrolitics.. New a guy that was a TV repairman and he was always complaining about this kind of stuff.....
