Perhaps. But not all of it, certainly. I'm currently four for four fixing dead flatscreens by re-capping their power supplies; I imagine others have similar experiences. It's not a huge stretch to imagine that other power supplies may have similar issues; even if it turns out to not be the case, there is probably at least a little "can't hurt anything, right?" running around. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
