Reply to "Replacing Bulging Capacitors On early 5 Volt Boards"

Alan, If a rated fuse constantly blows do you go get a higher rated fuse and stick in the circuit, or do you find out why the fuse is blowing.  The whole capacitor rating is wrong get a bigger one is bs.  You should know better. 

I think your chasing your tail on the 5V board once caps start blowing and you have damaged components beyond the cap Dave.  Not worth having it melt wires or shell in your engine.  I have test board gone bad that had direct PV shorts and pulled 7 amps.  If you don't have a meter to see it you wind up with a smoke meter.  Especially with a big transformer like a Z.  G
