The main worry is not a capacitor Failing. The main
worry IMHO is that if
there's a fault in the power supply regulation circuitry then that could
make the +5V line jump to a high enough voltage to wipe out just about
every chip in the machine. Expansive and difficult to put right.
I don't disagree with the concern, but I'd be interested in hearing
estimates on the probability of this taking place. Has anyone had it
happen to them?
