Default Why doesn't everything use solid aluminium capacitors?


Stop excessive crosposting...

I suppose cos they can get them el chepo. I also have found toward the end
of the 90s, those little tantalum caps that look like blobs of resin
coloured blue tend to go leaky and damage the rest of the circuit.
Nothing is supposed to last any more.

Motherboards used them over a decade ago, so why do I still find leaking
electrolytics in TVs?
