capacitor

Probably nothing many of you haven't seen before, but I thought I'd re-cap my Astro City PSU before it started giving me any grief. And it's probably a good thing I did. Though the PSU seemed to be working fine, there was more leakage under the six large caps than on anything I've ever worked...

Hi all, I have the rail chase board and I’ve noticed that capacitor C8 suffered some stress and was pushed down from its position. As a result, the traces below are now damaged. I flipped the board and could not find the traces rout to try to correct it. Does anyone have a clue of where to each...
