A degrading electrolytic capacitor is one of the main problems with malfunctioning power supply circuits, say in old stereos, constantly-on wall adapters and many heavy machinery. Make sure you check the power quality first.

Note: edited to correct governor version. See posts below. I worked at a gas turbine powerplant built in the late 80’s. The engine control was a Speedtronic Mk IV. It had three redundant control computers (essentially highly modified 286 PCs), and a fourth communication computer for the interface. All of these computers had independent power supplies with a multitude of capacitors. We had 6 spare power supplies on the shelf. We found out the hard way that they had to be stored in the same orientation as when in operation. Of the six, we had only stored two in the correct orientation. The other four failed on install. We rotated them to correct orientation. A year later, one worked. The other three blew their capacitors. We never did figure out why.

This might be due to convective heat dissipation. Many devices with passive cooling are designed in such a way, that the hot air rises up and out. Cold air is coming in from the bottom. If you disrupt the orientatnion, you may end up with heat from transistors going to places it shouldn't - like bunches of capacitors, overheating them just as reversed polarity would.

It could be that they had film capacitors in them, and through the years have suffered from moisture ingress/process issues. Those caps have led to some older devices dying on 1st power on while they were all fine when stored, and even stored properly. Check EEVBlog 1486 (unless I'm remembering things a bit wrong). Also eletrolytic ones loaded with voltages far lower than their rating for long can also have issues, tho I forgot what the name of the mechanism/effect was.

Learned about bulging capacitors as I was getting into reel to reel tape deck maintenance. The motor run capacitor on one of my earliest decks (50+ years old) was failing and the dielectric was oozing out the top. I was able to replace it with a much more modern ceiling fan style cap of the same specks in just a few minutes!

I also have some experience repairing faulty power supplies and usually with a switching PSU, there is a capacitor of between 4.7uF and 100uF (usually 22uF, these were the most I found) to provide power to the oscillator portion of the circuit which switches the mosfet. Usually this capacitor also sits next to the cooler plate (to which the mosfet is mounted) which dries out the dielectric due to the heat of the cooler/mosfet and makes the capacitor lose it's capacitance and increase the internal leakage current so it can no longer provide a steady DC voltage to the oscillator circuit. So if you have a power supply which sometimes turns on just fine and sometimes it just refuses to work, replace that capacitor and this usually does the trick. It doesn't need to be bulging to fail, it just needs to be old and/or sitting next to the cooler.

My office was near their workshop and I'd hear loud bangs coming from it occasionally so I took a look. As soon as I saw what he was doing I got out of there. It's a miracle he didn't cop shrapnel in the eye really.

That seems about right. That computer was most likely affected by the capacitor plague where capacitors from many Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers had very high failure rates. Most of the bad capacitors were made between 1999 and 2003. It was a huge problem at the time and cost many companies like Dell and HP for example hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mehdi, you're always funny but this one deserves a special award! The scrap box segment near the end is going to find a kinship with many of us. I personally have Electro's dating back to pre - WW2! Why the hell I keep them is a subject for Shrinks! Wakodahatchee Chris

I know very little about electricity, but I have to tell you that you make this type of learning genuinely fun and interesting for me. The English language, though..? That's something on which I have a pretty firm grasp. You don't need to worry about 'capacite' if the kids that grow up with the language say 'literally' when they don't MEAN literally and BEGIN THOUGHTS with the phrase 'I mean'. You're good, dude. :)

One takeaway from this video is that we now need a video on switch-mode power supplies 😁 The explanation at the end is cool, but it would be really interesting to see what it takes to make one from scratch

I just realized I had a dream last night in which my friends and I went around trying to fix blown capacitors. It was basically a repeat of everything you taught us in this vid, since I watched it yesterday.

Great insight into the inner workings of capacitors and their role in power supply. I especially appreciate the practical demonstration of half-breaking a capacitor, and the importance of replacing bulgy ones. Definitely keeping this in mind for my electronic troubleshooting.

I had a problem with a flickering monitor and had a look inside. There were 8 capacitors in there and two of them looked a bit bulged. I replaced all of them (not just the two funky ones) with the same value but from a reputable manufacturer (not can't-blame-my-company-without-name branding). It works without issue for well over 5 years since.
