Well, ya know that's the manufacturers warranty. Like a fridge with a one year warranty, lasts for 20 years and you throw it out only because it got too ugly? Caps are probably better than they used to be but you might want to Google the subject if you really want something MORE to worry about....:> !!! BTW I had a Canon HI-8 video cam in the 90's. It was a beautiful thing but apparently, the SM caps all went bad in 2 years. At least that was the story that one repair shop gave me; wanting $200 to replace ALL the caps.....grrrrr. > Hello, > Another newbie question I'm afraid but could anyone please tell > me what the normal life expectancy is for electrolytic capacitors as > I have seen some panasonic ones stated to be 2000 hours.
