Updated: Dec 27, 2020



Electrolytic capacitors are pretty much made from paper, foil and electrolyte. With time the electrolyte can evaporate and/or leak. This can affect their operating parameters and it is best to replace them.

On the 2018 the main capacitors to replace are on the Control Room card and on the I/O card.
