Remove the cap and see if you actually have a short circuit first. Then make sure the voltage ISNT more than the cap rating. Otherwise it's POOF again.

Hi all,
I'm trying to solve a problem with a P5 I just got.
It looks like the -15v rail on the main board is shorting.
Each time I'll power it up, the 10uf tantalum capacitor which filters
the -15v is getting fried and open (shorting) immediately.
Any ideas where to start looking at ? Any common parts on the P5 with
are known to short over time ?
Thanks for the help !
