The worst part actually is, when those chips are the correct ones- but have been used and have all the wear. Means, you have them baked on and off board, slight overcurrent damages, wear on internal flash and Elektromigration.

And this chip is integrated into your new device.
The only way to avoid this, would be a standard start of life vault, that is writeable once with the date and burns of the pathway to to re-write after that.
- anticodon 9y agoPlease, no. Manufacturers will use this to force selling us new equipment every 2-3 years. It's a very bad solution.
- honestoHeminway 9y agoManufactureres force you allready to buy new equipment 2-3years, by placing codensators near heatsources and other nice tricks (including the famous printer counter).
- fapjacks 9y agoHi there, I'm very interested in your comment. Do you have a link where I could read more about the techniques you've discussed as they pertain to forced obsolescence? Thanks!
- honestoHeminway 9y agoI have no direkt link, i just had - lets say a lesson at my university where one the teachers (who shall not be named) mentioned that there is a pretty exact science of statistically averaging the livetime of a capacitator with the heat it experiences during the devices operation. So if you want to extend a devices life, you can desolder some condensators and put them in areas of good Cooling.

- raverbashing 9y ago"by placing codensators near heatsources" Oh you mean like every power source is designed today? There are several engineering reasons to do that, they don't do that to spite people And it's called capacitor (in the XXI century at least)
- atom058 9y agoIn Sweden, we call them "Kondensatorer", i.e using the old form. For me, this causes quite a lot of jumbled/mixing of words, as my friends and I typically switch randomly between English and Swedish versions of component names.
- raverbashing 9y agoAh fair enough
- qb45 9y agoAlso, even in English condenser mics still refuse to become cap mics.
- mikeash 9y agoCapacitors in automotive ignition systems are still called "condensers" too, for some reason.
- FeepingCreature 9y agoGerman too.
- c3833174 9y agoNot really, you just don't put enough effort in trying to repair them.
