I took it apart and found it had a swollen capacitor.

Did I?

A: Say fuck it, it works. DFIIIAB.

B: Replace the capacitor.

C: Purchase a new charger.

You’re wrong. What I actually did was drill a hole into the side so the case could close around the swollen capacitor.

Yeah, that’ll work for the girls I go out with

Your sunvisor requests you DEAL WITH IT.

Tough to see in the pic, did the vents do their job? Or are you now welcoming fiery electrolyte deposits on you legs.

Don’t know if you know this but, the capacitor has those lines in the top so that it can burst open easily when the pressure gets too high inside, not saying yours is going to explode, but with the capacitor being swollen it could very well do that soon.

Yeah. I mostly wanted to see how much of it would stick out.

Whoa, wait a minute, upon further review

Axe body spray in the glove box? I didn’t know we had a ladies’ man amongst us!

According to your Axe body spray, I believe you mean a trilby. Cause bros confuse the two.

I keep a stick of Dove men’s deodorant in my desk at work, for afternoon armpit touchups. I’m fancy.

D. Buy a new car because it has an integrated USB port!

^^^ This.

Those score marks ensure when an electrolytic capacitor blows up, it sends projectiles in one direction, rather than aluminum shrapnel in all directions.

Unless I’ve interpreted the photo incorrectly, your potentially-explosive cap is aimed right at the driver’s leg.
