Re: Dying Rubycon MHZ?

Thanks guys Rubycon MB/CZ are hard to find, so lucky I don't need any

Taa.

(PS. yes, just the one cap)

Rubycon MHZ series
10v 2200uf

This is an Intel D865GLC board with the usual failure of all the Nichicon HN(M) series caps.

There is one Rubycon which looks a bit out of place. Is this a possible failure, or is it a feature produced during manufacture? The top isn't exactly bulging - could something pushing down really hard on it make that kind of feature? There has never been anything pushing down on the cap in the case.

I don't have an ESR meter, but I do have an old (but decent?) Tektronix THM565.
