Update: a board repair tech in Austin mentioned he sees 4 out of 5 dead laptops come in with the exact same blown cap, is that normal?
I opened 12 dead Dell boards this month and 9 of them had the same bulged cap right next to the CPU, which makes me think it's a known bad batch and not random failures, so I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this pattern or if I'm just unlucky with the units coming through my bench.
