We had everything to gain and nothing to lose on the ESC on which I changed the caps. Two of the caps were bent, and two also had one lead each pulled out of the can, so the ESC was unusable as it was. If I had failed, we were no worse off except for the expense of 3 $.85 caps.
The case was also broken, so we used clear heat shrink on it, and cut out a hole where the label and heat sink plate is. The thing looks like it has a condom on it!!
Thanks for the info Jon. I take it replacing the caps worked? I got the old ones out so I will give it a try. Like you said we don't have much to lose.
