  • Rodney maybe you should refrain from telling people from opening power supplies since I'm sure you know that a PSU still has enough power in it after its turned off and unplugged to kill a man.

  • All American hardware manufacturers so proudly state on their boxes "Japanese capacitors!" lol

  • funny as hell thinking back to when i was a kid, listening to people talk about cheap japanese electronics shit.

  • oh, talking head!

  • 0:00 - 0:05 Rodney is censored :(

  • @norb8 Before you remove the psu, press the power button on the pc (make sure it's turned off at the wall). That's supposed to drain all the power away.

  • So if a capacitor explodes or leaks, does this put components at risk? Whats the chances? I hav a CIT 500 w PSU with 27 amps 12+v dual railing and 30amps 5 v railing..

  • Another way to know if your caps are Japanese: recognize the brands and their logos.

    Matsushita, a.k.a. Panasonic

    Rubycon

    Nichicon

    Nippon Industries

    Nippon Chemi-con

    Elna

    Sanyo

    And, buying your computer parts from reputable companies isn't always a guarantee that the product you'll buy from them will have Japanese capacitors.

    About the only non-Japanese capacitor manufacturer I'd trust would be Jamicon as they use electrolyte sourced from a Japanese manufacturer.

  • Everythings made in china....MY NIGGA!
