I'd be interested to know exactly which ones can be faulty and what their values are (some sort of nice diagram pwease!)

IMHO - EVERY single one should be replaced. There's a link on this page to the A600 schematics, which list all the needed caps.

Erm thanks, big help. How many are there on an A600?

I'm not sure I really believe you that all the capacitors are susceptible to failure and I dont think I (or anyone?) could be arsed to replace them all? Could they? It would take hours. Not to mention the high risk to most users of a mistake.

You think the failures are just due to poor quality capacitors and buying top quality will fix for the future? Not that they were the wrong values / type / power rating?

When they eventually break I guess I'll bin them and just use WinUAE :-(
