You work in Anti Materia!!!
You obviously have your head up your ass. I spent 40 years in
electronics. Manufacturing, Radio & TV Broadcast engineer, CATV
engineering, and running a service depot for United Video way back in
the early '80s, along with a few early years in the '60s and '70s in
Radio & TV repair. I've replaced more bad capacitors than any other
component. In fact. I have a stack of dead motherboards on my bench
right now that need about a dozen new 105° C
low ESR electrolytics per board. I spent my last four working years
building $20,000 and up telemetry receivers. NASA, NOAA and other
government agencies but them by the dozens, including one aboard the
ISS.


Go to and tell them that electrolytic
are a huge problem.



Hi Michael!



Claude is almost funny. 75$ ;-) ROTFL.





Is there anything true about the new super-caps, most obviously for the
high-temperature devices, like Plasma and Dig-Sat?



Kind Regards,

Daniel Mandic



P.S.: Great NG!

Behind only connectors and poorly chosen tantalums :)

Claude is funny - I've got over 36 years fixing and designing, and he
obviously doesn't know that most of the problems aren't the board
itself ;)

When it's a very expensive unit (or no more are available!) you have to
fix it.

Cheers

I think that when he was little, his owners took him to be "fixed"
but the doctors did a lobotomy instead. After all "Claude" was the
neurotic french poodle on the "Beverly Hillbillies".
