I'm bored and game works perfectly

[Kare9]

So should I preemptively swap my bulging caps on my WPC PSB?

Thanks for your input!

If you have the right tools, the right replacement parts, and heaps of confidence to spare....go for it. Or you could just play it and try to cure the boredom that way......

 

[Kare9]

I guess to re-phrase my topic...is there any danger in NOT fixing them preemptively?

Replacing caps isn't all that difficule, just make sure you get the polarity right

If you're replacing the caps on the WPC driver, use caution to not lift any traces. There are a few on the top side under the bridge that I've seen people pull up all too often.

General advice on life: If it's working, don't fix it.

I would follow the advice given here and best thing to do is have the replacement caps on hand when your machine does decide to act up otherwise keep flipping away.
