| [title] Starting the repair: Add flux to the leads | |
| - | [* black] Put solder flux on the leads of the bad capacitor. This will help flow the old solder to make removing the old solder easier. If you do not have flux to do this, you can use fresh solder to do this too. |
| - | [* icon_note] You will have to put flux on a few times during this repair due to the age of the solder. Put flux on as often as you need. Try not to use too much, as this will complicate the cleaning process later. |
| + | [* black] Put some flux on the leads of the old capacitors. This will help melt the solder on the old caps with less effort, without adding new solder. solder flux on the leads of the bad capacitor. |
| + | [* icon_reminder] If you do not have flux, adding a small amount of fresh solder will make the old solder melt as well. |
| + | [* icon_note] Apply flux a few times during the repair. Do not use too much, as this may complicate the cleaning of the board once you are done. |
