Well, I can say this. I have 89 Dell optiplex 745 SMT series in service and they were prchased in batches and not in one lot. One batch seems to have the capacitor issue and the usual symptoms are that the screen will just turn to a solid random color while in the middle of doing something. Upon opening the case an observing the 2200uF 6.3V caps it becomes clear that they are either swollen or already leaking. Of course, these are just outside of the warranty period of 3yrs. Go figure
To make things worse Dell doesn't have sufficient...
