Thanks Chris for this information! I have watched it. I always suspected this waste policy, and also heard rumours about this happening. I used to have an Epson Stylus 600 printer that went broken only after 13 months (dried out internal printerhead). No guarantee in those days left and about 799 guldens thrown away. And no answer from Epson at all either! So I never buy Epson again. (My Brother DCP-385C is 1000 times better! But sadly this type and model can't be bought anymore).

You are right, Chris. I enjoyed the video on planned obsolescence. Thanks.

Simple repair but remember only two things: good attempt and another device saved from the dump.

I think this is the key for all our questions...
I hope you enjoy this.

Thanks for supporting my article.
Sorry, but I really don't know now day what should I prefer.
I tried out a bunch of caps from various manufacture and I can say sometime one was better then other and vice versa.
I think, today the manufacturers of the caps all make mistake and no one can promise the quality.
This is only from my side, maybe I'm wrong..

Hi Henrique Jorge Guimarães, I'm no expert in answering your observation on the deterioration of E-caps. But I read somewhere that a decennia or so back in time the manufaturer of these Electrolyte Capacitors got in big trouble because they lost the correct formula of the Electrolyte substance when one of their important employees left the Firm and with the exact formula. So as a result they made E-Caps with faulty substances that caused bad exploding Capacitors on several Desktop Mainboards. And those Mainboard manufacturers (I shall not name them here, but on the internet they can be found) got known for their Failing Capacitors. (Mainboard E-Caps are mostly very low ESR types at about 6.3 Volt maximum working Voltage). So that could explain what happened?

Even at that time, the electrolytic capacitors were largely used, much of the gadgets being analog and with tubes but in transistor gadgets too, and further with ICs and digital systems. However, the e-caps did not show so many problems at that time. What happened? Why the quality fell so much? The normal industrial practice should be to improve the quality, but what we observe is a noticeable deterioration of this type of component. Could anyone explain what happens?

As you said, not all repairs are complex, but are worth the effort just to save them from landfill or recycling deconstruction.

I get a real buzz from going to the rubbish tip, finding something that someone deemed 'rubbish', getting it up and running and then seeing it being put to use again.

It's obvious I have simple tastes in life 🙂

A Coil normally never breaks or gets faulty. A Capacitor resist against changing any Voltage level. A Coil resist against change of current. Current and Voltage are out of Phase with Capacitor or Coil. If we could live without those Bad Capacitors suppose them having the quality of Coils, SMPS Power Supplies and other Devices never would Fail as often! For instance a Capacitor that became hotter than the about 85 Degrees Celsius maximum temperature as written on the Cap has left a reduced life expectancy of 50% less afterwards! Coils never dry out. Caps do apparently.
