Well I'll share photos of what I receive

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage

I don't see any Panasonic caps on this site but I do see the ones you're talking about on ebay. Panasonic FM 680µf 10v which were in the 2nd ebay link I posted above.

I wound up going with both links I posted above because they are from the same seller who is in the same state as me and money is tight right now I need to save every penny. Cut back on my shipping costs and I want to get it fast.

The monitor is already 6 or 7 years old, heavily used. I honestly don't think I need the longest life possible capacitors...

Also check out this GeForce 7600GT I found in my closet, had no idea why it failed until now!

I wish I still had my old AMD K6-2 computer and could check the caps on it, that thing always gave me trouble to the point I had to continually underclock it just to keep it stable. I bet the capacitors were terrible in that. This site makes me want to check all the hardware I've ever had fail for bad capacitors.Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage

So then these should be good replacements then? I don't want shit to catch fire on me so I'll take your advice and replace with low ESR

These are good right?

Re: Physical security for wireless networks

Physical security is the responsibility of the administrator/owner.

If you allow someone physical access to your home router, a simple reset button can be enough to get access as most home ISPs use DHCP and most routers ship with no wifi password by default.

That said this is a nice find, and I will continue to not use WPS

Care to explain about the low ESR? I'm not an expert, I'm a DIY repairman trying to save a couple hundred bucks. These Nichicon caps were listed on amazon I found them by searching 680µf 25v and in the description they happened to be listed as being good for Samsung monitor and TV repair...

Notice in the first picture, which was taken June 29th, that the Su'scon cap appears perfect, but after replacing the SamXon caps with Nichicon caps, after 1 month the Su'Scon cap suddenly failed.Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
