I completed memory upgrade on my A1WSX computer, and while I was working with the motherboard, I've noticed that two biggest capacitors have some sort of goo on them. It's dry and hard.
Is that normal, or I have "leaking" capacitors and better replace them with fresh ones?
Computer seems to work stable, but if capacitors are dead, I'm afraid it's no good...
Thanks! |

That brown thing, is glue, come from factory... is for fixed the big capacitor and avoid to future connection issues.

Yes, just see it as a piece of elite sticky tape ^^;. Philips/Sanyo machines have such kind of construction as well.  |

Don't worry, if those caps were bust the computer wouldn't even start. Well, that and caps tend to go out with a bang, trust me you'd notice...  |
