I have a little computer ATX PSU I want parts from, and it's supposed to be new, and I had a look inside and 1 cap has leaked and other's are bulging. I gather that's H2 gas building up.
But do they really go bad and break down on their own like that if they are never used and just sitting there ??
I've taken apart a lot of things, and don't remember actually having bulging caps, and lots of them were way older than this, I guess I've been lucky.
