CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question

A technician is troubleshooting a computer that is experiencing intermittent shutdowns and instability. Upon inspecting the motherboard, the technician notices that some capacitors appear to be bulging and leaking a substance. What is the most likely issue with these capacitors?

  • The capacitors are simply discharging excess stored energy and are otherwise functional

  • The capacitors are suffering from swelling due to age or overheating and have likely failed

  • The capacitors have been underclocked, reducing their operational capacity intentionally

  • The capacitors are being prepared for a firmware update to improve performance
