hehe. knew it.

It's just weird because failing caps usually cause the vertical to shrink. Eh, I didn't build the damn thing.

yes, and no. depends on WHICH cap fails.

you have bypass caps, shaping caps, filter caps, coupling caps. and on and on the list goes.

Bad caps can cause just about any problem that you can dream up in a piece of electronics. Never underestimate what a bad cap can do!

Could it, oh say, compensate for another failed component in some way?

Like if cap A fails which drops the voltage, but regulator B also fails causing the voltage delivered to the cap to spike, compensating for the drop...
