Profilo and those popping caps

[Turnip]

Hi Folks,

Admit Profilo Telra aren't my fave in LCD - but there's lots about for some reason. Notice that 5v S/by and main 5v supply primary caps regularly pop and replacements (even of a higher capacity) fail before the guarantee period (2 weeks) is out.

Had a thought that any dual Shottky might just be duff on one side (but checked OK), but there again, on the original panel, 5v S/by had just a single Shottky, and was worse than most

Are there special low ESR caps (note that Wiltsgrove have a section for these - but sadly, no stock)

Just a thought, as this chap here wants his money back - Chris.
