But there are other auxiliary components that can fail earlier, like electrolytic capacitors.
Each individual component carries a certain risk of breaking. Add to that the interconnections between components.
I know. My small point was that I did study components in some detail, but the books and teachers I had said nothing about how each component fails.
Wrt electrolytic capacitors, I have had at least three motherboards fail due to those.
Yes, around 2001 there were sold many boards that failed too early due to bad capacitors from the same manufacturer, I think. They wanted cheaper and they made big news :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
