This is crazy, are there any comprehensive lists of devices that were affected by this? I am a little curious to see what devices, of many that have failed, may have been affected by this. Not that it would really change anything at this point.
Additionally, I've seen at least three home routers from friends and family fail because of bad capacitors--visibly blown, and in two cases I replaced the caps and they started working again. (In the other case I just threw it out.)
Laptops generally weren't affected, as SMD capacitors generally aren't electrolytic.
I swear they made the cases on those things out of razor blades. I probably could have replace the electrolytic material in most of the blown caps with my own blood.
In about half the cases it was a combined failure of the caps being el-cheapo and also the board design placing them far too close to heat-generating components. Fortunately, it is still cents on the dollar to replace with a higher temp-specced part if you know how to wield an iron.
