Does anyone here encountered blown 470uF caps before?
I bought a 865G barebone for a steal (HK$680), but the motherboard is full of Asiacon crap caps. I am planning to replace all that crap with something better, should I replace the 470uF caps too? or should I leave those alone and just replace the 1000uF or higher caps?

Stuck buttons in Samsung SyncMaster 152T LCD monitor
The buttons on my Samsung SyncMaster 152T are 'stuck' or whatever I should call it.. whatever button I press on, it repeats itself once after a moment, from a few seconds to a few minutes. Examples:
I press the power button, it turns on, after a moment it turns off.
I press the power button, it turns on, then I touch the Auto adjustment button, then it will auto adjust once every few seconds to a few minutes.
Does anyone here encountered this problem before and fixed it successfully? Is it a problem with the controller board or it will go away just by taking the monitor...

Samxon GL, if I remember correctly, is a general purpose capacitor, not the Ultra Low ESR ones Big Pope was advertising before he got banned.
There are no super capacitors that never bulge, it's just a matter of time. Even if you hand-pick and use the best rubycon or any other Japanese cap, heat from nearby components or [url=https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=278]bad/flawed circuit design[/url], etc. can bulge the capacitor.
Real life example:
In HKEPC forums, there was a trend of using ASRock motherboards, "savior of the poor people", and now there are many cases of the motherboards suddenly dying with no burnt components or blown caps, right after the 1-year warranty expired :P
Look at Asus, they used to use Japanese caps, now they use some unknown Taiwanese caps, but still they can provide you with a stable environment. OK, some new Asus boards has really crappy caps that explode due to high heat from the CPU, just get them replaced, and it's good again! Thanks to the high quality of Asus BIOS design, PCB design, manual design, tech support, etc.
Now look at Jetway. After being (insert word here) in the (insert word here) multiple times 24/7 for using bad caps, they now...
