Vintage computer hardware can fail in a variety of fascinating ways, with [Bits und Bolts] dealing with an interesting failure mode, in the form of degraded MLCC capacitors on Voodoo 2 graphics cards.

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

Capacitors are at great risk for failure. While it is certain that over time some wear out and no longer adequately serve their purpose, capacitors can also fail prematurely. A component fails when it ...
