HP Evos have bad caps
All of the big three finally hit
Tue Jun 19 2007, 11:14
LOOKS LIKE HP has a potential problem with bad caps.
Here is a pic I took of one of the many Evos I have out in the field, bulging leaking caps and all. The problem here is that this is not the el cheapo line of low end big box retail specials, it is their high end DC5000 line.
If this is not an isolated incident, and I don't think it is, HP could be in for problems. If you have any DC5000s, SFFs or not, can you take a look at them and tell me if you have cap problems too? µ

Dell had some awful problems on their Optiplex SX260's and SX270's about 3 years back... Capacitors kept blowing. I worked in the IT Dept and was literally phoning Dell 3 times a week with a batch of 3. We had 200 of them.
