| [title] Starting the repair: Cleaning the solder | |
| - | [* black] To clean the old solder, use a desoldering braid over the pads where the old capacitors were removed. Put the desoldering braid on top of the pad, and heat it up with a soldering iron. The solder will go into the wick. Once all of the solder has been removed, lift it off the pad with the soldering iron still on the braid. |
| + | [* black] Now it is time to clean the old solder. To do this, use a desoldering braid to remove excess solder for the capacitor group you are replacing. Put the desoldering braid on top of the pad, and heat it up with a soldering iron. |
| + | [* black] Once all of the old solder you can get is clean and the hole can accept a new capacitor, lift the desoldering braid up. It is important to do this while the braid is hot or it will stick to the board. |
