[title] Starting the repair: Removing the old capacitors | |
[* black] Put the soldering iron on the points where the old capacitors are soldered, while pushing on the capacitor to remove it not touching the soldering iron. Removal of the old capacitors doesn't have to be pretty, because we will remove the old solder. If you need a guide on soldering, refer to this guide: [guide|750] | |
[* icon_reminder] The best way to avoid touching the soldering iron is to use a grip or lifting the board up where the soldering iron is away from your hand. | |

+ | [* icon_note] Even if you only have to replace one cap on the board, you should replace them all in one shot as preventive maintenance. If you use the monitor with new and original caps, then the ones that did not fail before will end up causing you grief in the future. This will happen until all of the capacitors are replaced. |
