Removing the Old Capacitors
  • The old capacitors are these rectangle shaped components shown here.

  • The factory capacitors are glued down. Using a small pair of needle nose pliers, gently pull up on the capacitor to break it free.

  • The capacitors are surface-mount, so simply melt the solder on each leg and pull it free.

  • Only replace ONE capacitor at a time. This minimizes the chances of you forgetting which ones went where.
