I've seen it once, when the capacators fail on a motherboard, its pretty much useless. You can tell, by if they bulge at the top, and sometimes leak some brown/orange residue (DON'T TOUCH!)<BR>

Apparently, there was some industrial sabotage a few years back (2000 ish I think) which affected a whole bunch of capacators used on motherboards... though this is quite rare...<BR>
