If I installed a cap backwards, how likely is it ruined??
I was capping my K7000 last night, and like a bonehead, I put in C40 backwards.
Turned my Paperboy on after the cap kit, smelled a slight burning smell, then saw the picture on the screen with vertical collapse. RATS!
So, I pulled it back out and saw I put C40 in backwards. I reversed it, and turned it back on. Still have vertical collapse.
So, question... did I fry the cap for sure? Can a cap survive being in backwards?
