Replace Old Inverter Capacitors

Inverter Caps

Several stressed caps

Four caps in bad shape
Just outside the warranty the backlight would start erratically thanks to the bad caps in the Delta inverter. Swollen capacitor tops is not a good sign. The caps were replaced with higher voltage, better spec devices that I use regularly and had laying around. The replacements are higher ripple, higher voltage and low ESR for switch mode use.
