It depends of the quality, and which ones were replaced, as some people only replace the 4 capacitors and not the other 3.

So you should check and if possible use Rubyconn capacitors, these are really the best, and if possible must be 105° or even 130°.

After few years of use, the capacitors always have to be replaced and more the ones that heat a lot, so higher temperature and better quality (Rubyconn) will help to have them lasting longer.

Well I ordered the rubycon capacitors to be sure...
I'll change them and hopefully everything will go according to plan...
Maybe by the time they arrive we'll have some update on the DM8000 drivers...
Thanks for all the help and keep up the good work!!!

Well nothing went according to plan....
I have the model 2 PSU so I ordered some 400V 100uf and 35V 1000uf capacitors
When I gave to a friend to change he noticed that my 2 large capacitors where 450V 82uf not 400V 100uf so he didn't change them.
I installed it back and it seemed to work just fine for 5 minutes until it decided to commit suicide, made a sound and smoke came out... as you can see in the pictures it looks like a small chip or transistor or whatever it is between the 2 yellow things got burned...
So where do I buy a new power supply, as I don't think this is worth bothering trying to fix as I doubt it can...

Any ideas why the different capacitors in my psu???

Some pictures to see what happened...

Thanks again for all the help!!!

There is 2 models of PSU, was important to change by the same parts... now seems it's too late.

Take a look here, for an original PSU that is fully compatible with clones, and would be the perfect good choice to fix it.

They finished, but you can ask them or find something similar,
