HELP ! Question for all Santa Cruz owners.

[sean2002]

I just opened my new Santa cruz that I got from Mwave. The box was still sealed on both sides but when i opened it I saw that EVERY SINGLE capacitor is bent ! They are all bent but not in the same direction, there are 2 side by side but bent two different ways. Also, the little pins things on bottom are also bent, every one too. is this normal ?

No, it is not. All capacitors will never be perfectly straight, but the pins on the card should be straight, and ALL capacitors shouldn't be bent.

Mine was also bent like that when I received them, but it works perfectly.
So I guess its normal

 

[sean2002]

From what I can see the bent capacitors look as if they were installed that way because they coinside with the bent pins on bottom

I have owned (2) retail boxed Santa Cruz cards, and both had "bent" capacitors.

* It's nice to see all of the patriotism in here.

My SBLIVE Xgamer sounds fine for mp3s and such in games in win98se, should I go to santa cruz for no reason?
