[QUOTE="steeviebops, post: 1092361, member: 414368"] Well I just got the fright of my life! Through a friend of mine I was able to source a Nokia BSB receiver for nothing. Got it home today to test and within a couple of minutes it let out an almighty bang and plenty of smoke with a really vile smell. Surprisingly, the receiver didn't die when this happened but I was quick to power it off anyway. Judging by the smell I figured it must have been a cap that blew. Took it apart to find a Rifa PME 285 MB capacitor had split open from the side and was leaking. All of the other caps look perfect. Even though it didn't die altogether, I'll be a bit reluctant to try it again! [/QUOTE]
