Geez Phil, what kind of Phil Allison answer is that? And a smiley
emoticon? Since you're off your game, I thought I'd take the liberty
and reply to Jeff in the proper Allison manner:

It's another day in capacitor hell. About 2 months ago, I replaced
the bulging caps in a Dell Optiplex GX-520, but inserted them
backwards.

Today, I have an irate customer with a Dell XPS-200 that I sold him.
Same problem, again:

I had replaced 11 caps on this board, all of them backwards.

** Twice? What kind of moron are you?


difficult to see on the photo, but the white silkscreened arrow is "+"
instead of the usual "-" . Now, I get to check all the other Dell
machines, where I probably inserted the caps backwards.

Maybe I should find something else to do for a while? Grumble...

** Yeah, like retire you idiot!

....Phil

How did I do?
