A couple of times I found a CII that seemed to work fine. Then a day or week later, big squares. Only once did the problem seem to be intermittent, and I think it later became permanent. I've been told that replacing capacitors might fix it, but I don't have the skills to do this. So I've kept the CII's in case I run into someone willing to help me with the capacitors or another solution appears.
