I thought replacing every faulty capacitor was overkill, but a recurring board failure proved me wrong.
Now I check and swap all similar caps during repairs. It stops the same issue from popping up later.

Learned that the hard way too, didn't you?

Yeah I spent a fortune on cheap brushes once. The bristles started falling out mid-project.

Totally get that. I had a monitor that kept dying. Replaced one bulging cap, it worked for a month, then another one blew. Now when I see a bad 1000uF, I just swap all the same value ones on the board. Saves a second trip and the customer doesn't call back angry. It's a few extra cents in parts for a lot more reliability.
