== Visual Inspection & Failure Signs == Before recapping, examine all electrolytic capacitors for these common failure indicators: * '''Bulging or domed tops''' β Indicates internal gas pressure and imminent failure. * '''Leaking electrolyte''' β Brown, green, or white residue at the base of the capacitor. * '''Corrosion or PCB staining''' β Green/black marks or discolouration around pads. * '''Unusual behaviour''' β Audio hum, video glitches, or random resets can often be traced to failing capacitors. If any capacitor shows signs of distress, it is strongly recommended to replace '''all''' electrolytic capacitors on the board.
