    Defective HM and HN capacitor issue

    Nichicon-produced HM- and HN-series capacitors made from 2001 to 2004 were used in equipment from major computer manufacturers and were associated with premature failures. Public accounts suggested possible electrolyte overfilling or a leakage-prone electrolyte, but the supplied reference does not establish a definitive manufacturing explanation. The issue was distinct from the Taiwanese capacitor-plague phenomenon.
