jjh76 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 So, I opened my intv to swap the controllers as the player 1 is broke and I noticed that the large 16v cap on the power board has a small dent on it. Is this something that I should be worried about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 No. When caps bulge out and/or leak - then it's time to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Note that for caps, the important value is the one indicated in Farads, usually milli or microfarads. If you need to replace caps, you can get superior voltage value, not less (except in special cases, but that's not the case here). In that case, 25V caps might be easier to find.

jjh76 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Well, other than the dent it looks ok, don't see any leaks or corrosion anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
