Over time, the most basic "fix" to get an electrical item working again 
has been to change the fuse, save first checking for the expiry of other 
items that have a more definite lifetime like batteries and such.

However since the dawn of The Internet, this resource is awash with 
human experience stories on how replacing capacitors is an amazing thing 
in bringing some electronics back to life, but no one really details 
anything else positive when that fix hasn't worked for them - mainly the 
rest item is too complex to fix or not worth their time.

AI has read the capacitor story as well and is placing great weight and 
belief in it, having read no other information. Add to it confirmation 
bias, and also the "reward stick" used in programming large language 
models, the AI will always try it impress you at all cost, because 
ultimately it "thinks" with probabilities, not understanding.

(But it is still an amazing tool!)

If you want to get a better answer, include the following in your prompt.

the answer, please detail how you came about it."
