Here's a more complete listing of manufacturers who have had/are having
quality issues with electrolytic capacitors.
http://www.answers.com/topic/capacitor-plague
In case this site gets nuked, here are the listed manufacturers:
Commonly failed capacitor brands
* Tayeh (A brand that does not appear to exist, indicating the actual
manufacturers were wary of putting their name on their product; and
probably a fake of "Ta-Keh", a genuine maker of high-end capacitors for
audio equipment, used by Denon)
* Chhsi
* Teapo (Teapo has denied these claims, and evidence suggests their
new capacitors are sound, however their older ones appear to suffer from
the same problems other brands do)
* I.Q.
* Rulycon (A clone of "Rubycon", a well-known manufacturer of
high-quality capacitors, right down to the exact style of the cases and
the fonts used for lettering)
* JPCON
* Jackcon (The only capacitor manufacturer to own up to their mistake;
they are also the only one to issue free replacement capacitors to people
who had theirs fail. Their new products appear to be of greater quality.)
* JDEC
* CTC
* (G) Luxon (also G-Luxon)
* Gloria
* Raycon
* Hermei
* Choyo
* GSC
* Nrsy (only with X-shaped vents. The new NRSY capacitors have K vents
and are a genuine, high-quality Nippon-made part.)
* Fuhjyyu (found in Antec power supplies to this day)
As of May 2005, some evidence
(http://www.ait.iastate.edu/sales/showitem.php?id=41) shows that the
failing Nichicon capacitors on the iMac, Intel, and Dell boards are due to
a different problem (specifically, overfilling the capacitors with
electrolyte) than the one discussed on this page (faulty electrolyte
formula). However, the symptoms (both the effects on the system and the
physical appearance of the capacitors) are the same as the other failing
capacitors, as is how to identify them, and the required repair.
(I've actually seen a Dell P4 motherboard that had failing Nichicon
parts!)
