Hi Larry and all, Bulging or domed capacitors is always a fatal condition. The machines may work for a while, even a long while, but eventually its lights out for that computer. Very often such capacitors can be replaced on the motherboard. This was a big problem for IBM and HP for a few years. They cheaped out on the capacitors or possibly placed them too close to the processor. HP settled a class action, and IBM sold their PC division. I've seen bad caps on most brands of computers except for Dells.
