A blue one with a headache.


The "bad-caps" is in the URL, so that's rather obvious. However,
that's the result, not the problem. The cause is quite obvious once
you see it. I posted the picture previously and Phil Allison caught
the problem almost instantly. I didn't.




Do you mean where someone mixed 85C caps (that failed) with 105C caps,
that look OK?
