Attached pictures of a capacitor failure in a 6 months old

Capacitor failure or solder joint failure?

Does the voiding on End 1 actually penetrate the cap?


Are you seeing the same picture. There is clearly a rupture on the
cap from internal pressue obvious from the way the case in bent OUT.


It's hard to tell from the pictures, they are head on and angle shot
would help.

My first impression was, "Looks good to me"
