I've seen a whole lot of videos of laptop repairs where the only problem was a bad capacitor, and replacing the capacitor removed the short and fixed the laptop.
- Aurornis 1y agoThe capacitors that fail in laptops (and other full size electronic devices) are typically electrolytic caps, which have much shorter lifetimes than other capacitors. Phones do not have electrolytic capacitors because they are too small.
- Dwedit 1y agoI was referring to the tiny surface-mount capacitors. Are those often electrolytic?
- mrheosuper 1y agoExtremely wrong here, The most common capacitor to fail inside those laptops are ceramic one.
