Default Control 24 power supply capacitor lasting just 3 days?

Hi,

Another blooming control 24 power supply issue!

Ive had to do the capacitor replacement (C20 on the skynet PSU) a few times in the past and it usually lasts a long time, but now it only lasts about 3 days then starts to go faulty again. I can put a new cap in and it will last another 3 days or so then the control 24 will start to go crazy again.

Ive put about 5 caps in over the past few weeks just to keep it going.

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this and why the cap is lasting just a few days?



Chris

Are you trying different brands of caps? Perhaps there is a problem with the batch you keep using?
