Horrible pictures of dead caps

I would like to dedicate this thread to the most horrible pictures of dead caps you guys can find Just to scare these guys, who think that "this can never happen to them" Let's start with HP Pavilion machine pic. TMS 1500uF caps, machine shutting down in 30 sec after power on:



Frankly I would not dare to turn it on... Picture from Carcenomy user on TechPowerUp forums

Heheh, well, that. Okay Maybe it is better not to mess with something you did not know how to do it precisely, so it is wise to let it make someone who is know what is he doing


Speaking about GSC caps - Peter's GSC caps in GF2MX400



...and even the topmost left one, witch looked "reasonably" well for GSC look this way from bottom

As they age and or lose their ability to work properly they "pop" from an excessive build up of Hydrogen gas. They may also Hiss, Buzz, Click, or Scream, just proir to this ocuring. Usually the electrolight (liqiud) inside leaks out also.

Mussels - yea, they are pretty bad - but I saw worser - when they exploded


Morgoth - because of either excess stress (that can kill even a good cap!) or - mostly - because of being made from stolen incomplete formula bad cap. This is extremly comon. In fact, all cusomer grade PSUs containing bad caps. The difference between them are just a difference if they use the good of bad caps (like Teapo and OST - Enermax 620W Liberty, for example) or if they use Fuhjyyu inferior bad crap caps (for example GTR 450W-Li PSU - http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_deta...=26&page_num=2 - http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lainaz...34595702707810 ) from the bad caps list, witch is rather long anyway: http://capsmod.net/forum/viewthread....extra=page%3D1

That is, mostly, the coils that make the sounds anyway. As the cap is losing their ability to act as buffer and filter the spikes, they made it's way to the coils and they start generating sound as the spikes become too harsh that even the harmony frequency can become audible...

GSC caps in Peter's mainboard:




Panasonic FM cap (good maker and type too) wrongly polarized by me in Abot ST6R mobo on the Vcore imput caps place:
