Look for traces of leakage. If there is any, > replace the cap. I have a Siemens documentation for their best quality electrolytic capacitors. It date from the time Siemens/Fujitsu was making the best electrolytic caps of the world. It is written than, after 10 years of service, you you want to be sure the caps are still in the range of their specification, you have to change them in all cases. Old caps are a major cause of failures in electronics, especially into cheap electronics where it is a real nightmare when it is a lot of them. As are contact corrosion and bad soldering points. -- If you have a problem and you are not doing anything to fix it, you are at the heart of the problem. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
