Idiots Guide: Replacing leaking capacitors, the amateur way

[koto]

---

there is a good mini article on a so called amateur who replaced three leaking capacitors in his Abit KT7 motherboard. It is short and a good read. you guys might want to check it out. I personally think this would be helpful since I once had my 8k3a replaced because of a leaking capacitor.

like with other electrical components... Capacitors has "lifespan".... On the other hand.... quickly bursting capacitors are due to low quality control man cguro. ^_^
