Could a transistor going flaky and overdriving capacitors cause them to
swell? How about causing one of them to explode?

Just wondering what caused the systemic failure of the power supply PCB I am
looking at.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks, all, for the input. As the result of all your feedback,I feel I
have a much better grasp of what I am likely dealing with.

Much appreciated...
