In current consumer gear, 99% of the time the caps failed because they are garbage that comes nowhere near to meeting their supposed specification, in designs where the specifications are already cut to the absolute minimum.
In sufficiently old gear, they failed because they were sitting idle too long, and can probably be reformed.
