mikrotik 125-24g-1s-rm no longer booting. bad capacitor?

Thu Dec 09, 2021 7:05 am

all of a sudden it just seemed to have died. lcd flickers but nothing boots.
power supply seems ok, checked with multimeter.
opened it up and nothing smells but i do see a slightly bulging capactitor.

is there anything else i can troubleshoot? what's the likelihood of this capactor being the culprit?

Do you Heard a humming or clicking sound from the Capacitor ?


overheated, bad cap or simply Old.... in any case,
If you are able, I would recommand replacing the cap
