Sticky DVD player spindle motors.

[Celt]

I've replaced dozens of PS caps in DVD players that were made in the past ten years.
Most all of them were made in China and with Chinese sourced parts. Bulging caps seems to be common in many of them and many of them don't make it past their first year of life without failure. A few years ago I purchased a cheapo Memorex that had a nice Sony transport in it, but a horrid PS. I replaced the PS caps before they had a chance of blowing up and its given perfect service ever since.
