Good save!
Samwa=trash.
SAMWHA = good/decent caps, often seen underrated, 85 degree cap where a 105-degree/low ESR cap would be better, or a 25V cap on a 24V B+ line - I see that a lot, and always step up to a 35V cap.
The Samsungs with the bad Samwha 470uF and 680uF caps on the 24V B+ line were poorly designed - 25 volt caps - again, up them to 35V/105 degree Panasonic FC, FM or FR series and they'll work fine! The squatty 47uF/160 caps also go, as you've seen. 85 degree, or with a blue/green case, I always replace - dead giveaways that they are 85 degree caps, and don't belong in a 350W flat panel set! They are cooking to death....
I was looking at the NTE caps at our local distributor - some were Samwha and Lelon in the package....even yuckier pricing.
Cheers,
Brian
