Re: Old Compaq Armada internal PSU repair
the 33uf startup cap has bad internal leakage between the contacts.
the higher uf reading is the givaway.
the psu will be good-as-new if the caps are good.
psu's dont age, just the caps because they are liquid-filled.
on that subject, at some point you should inspect the laptop board and the backlight invertor circuit for leaking caps
