- cellularmitosis 8y ago> The older the capacitor, the more likely this is to happen The funny thing is that due to this capacitor plague of the early 2000's, capacitors which are even older than this have a better survival rate. The plot of failure likelihood over time would be something like a line with a weird bulge in the middle.
