+ | [* icon_reminder] While it may be possible to do a partial capacitor replacement, the remaining capacitors will also fail - do it once and do it correctly. ***''Refer to this guide for soldering tips: [guide|750].''*** |
[* black] ***''Move in a workspace with ventilation or use a fume extractor.''*** Once in an appropriate workspace, desolder the old capacitors. Heat one leg up and remove the capacitor. Do this for both legs. | |
[* black] After removing the capacitors, clean up the old solder. To do this, take a desoldering braid and clean up the solder from the pads. ***''The desoldering braid must be lifted up with your soldering iron.''*** |
