3DO capacitors
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2014 10:46 pm
Hey there,
recently I came across the German Wikipedia article about the Commodore CD32 (released in 1993) - it said that due to
the age, many cd32 units tend to suffer from and take damage by leaking capacitors now.
It read to me like there was a certain kind or brand of capacitors built in that has reached it's expiring date now, since
obviously so many machines show this symptom at the same time these days.
My question: How about the 3DO capacitors? Anything yet? The 3DO is about the same age as the CD32 - do the
capacitors now show weakness as well?
