I first heard about the electrolytic problem after having lost my
third computer video card in a little over a year. At first I though
I might have a power supply problem that was blowing video cards, but
that didn't make a lot of sense, it wasn't blowing other
stuffs. Besides, the voltages
I assume that in time better grade capacitors will work their way into the
manufacturing world.
Counterfeit electronic parts have become the newest business model
in some circles. The problem is getting worse.
