Everyone is having trouble with caps lately. I suspected this back when
the List started seeing it. I planned 4-6yrs for the inventory to process.

Maybe another few years?

I have done a few myself, but this one is under warranty. I actually have a
socket A on the bench for repair ( 3 bad caps ) but wonder if it is worth it,
NOT.
mine is a 820uF 6.3v. I wonder if a 1000uF 6.3v would be better or maybe one
same uF and higher V.
