With active PFC it's even worse - the big cap fails followed by huge voltage spikes and a shorted transistor (followed by the circuit breaker tripping).

Power plug is not a typical IEC connector
It is standard though - the plug is C5 and the socket is C6. These are very common in laptop power supplies.

So, I guess I will replace the caps with good quality ones in my BFL PSU (I am not using it currently, it is more of a backup or if I ever need a 13V PSU).
