Do tantalums exhibit the same gradual recovery behaviour as electrolytics? My (albeit limited) experience is that they tend to short spontaneously -- when they don't decide to explode, that is. ;^)

Btw, one of the caps in my HP65's PSU reads 11 ohms ESR! While that doesn't sound right, I doubt it's the cause of the card reader woes. I checked the motor with my bench supply, and it's definitely a mechanical issue.

There has been issues with the degraded PSU caps and card read errors, so I thought it may be worthwhile replacing them. Maybe the motor tantalum cap as well. Has the calculator been on for a while, or just turned on when the problem occurs?

cheers
