All the PSUs that have had components pop on me have all been capacitors in
the mains filter (except the H7140 in my PDP11 but that was only after I had
been messing with it to try to fix it, so that doesn't count).
Not being an expert in electronics I am not sure of the reason for this. Can
someone explain? Is it the type of capacitor? Is that type of capacitor only
used in mains filters? If not, why have I (so far) not seen other PSU
capacitors blow up?
