For some reason I thought only electrolytic capacitors made during the "capacitor plague" era fail early, but my garage door opener from 2008 died the other day and it just needed a replacement 35v 300uF capacitor on its logic board to bring it back to life. The bad cap didn't bulge or leak though.
