Why Replace Bulging Electrolytic Capacitors

A degrading electrolytic capacitor is one of the main problems with malfunctioning power supply circuits, say in old stereos, constantly-on wall adapters and many heavy machinery. Make sure you check the power quality first.

As someone who wasn't interested in electronics at all I finally figured out why I'm obsessed with your videos, it's the trial and error and constant creative problem solving, it's mind blowing honestly

[vhfgamer]

boy, I resemble the last part of this video. The amount of salvaged electronics parts I have scattered around is going to take a lot of work to throw away when I die.

[SomeWaddleDee]

I really appreciate how interesting you make learning about electronics!

1:12 I KNEW Mehdi had another Mehdi prompting him with script passages.

Was about to look for tutorials on discharging capacitors safely but this showed up in my recommendations. Thanks, Mehdi 😊

ElectroBOOM is one of the few channels that ages but stays the same good quality.

10:45 every eletronics hobbyist ever haha (speaking from a room full of circuit board, components and broken stuff)

Medhi is a YouTube legend. It is awesome to see such quality entertainment and learning/wisdom 😅

Imagine sleeping and your brain chips plays an ad

1:33 That face got me more than it should have😂

[someoneklh]

When is see capacitors in an electroboom video title i know there are gonna be explosions

[MrMinuteman]

I know absolutely nothing about electricity but Medhi just makes shit funny 😂

I really enjoyed watching mehdi’s videos and i was always thinking that they are just entertaining till one day my professor asked us a question about resistors and i was the only one knowing it. Mehdi is the only teacher that can deliver knowledge in entertaining and educating way at the same time, thank you mehdi..

[RT-rxsj]

It’s a little known fact that the Canadian Government has requested Medhi slow down how many videos he makes to save their power grid

Learned about bulging capacitors as I was getting into reel to reel tape deck maintenance. The motor run capacitor on one of my earliest decks (50+ years old) was failing and the dielectric was oozing out the top. I was able to replace it with a much more modern ceiling fan style cap of the same specks in just a few minutes!

this video helped me fix my surge protector. thanks mehdi
