Oh the trials and tribulations of fixing ones own electronics.
Having purchased $10 worth on new capacitors from RS components yesterday, today i finally was able to remove the old ones and put the new one in.
The tricky bit was removing the solder from the holes where the old capacitors were. Unfortunatley my lack of experience resulted in one of the hole fill with solder and my iron could not melt it all again to be able to suck it out with a solder sucker. In the end I resorted to a 0.6mm fine drill and a steady hand to drill the solder from the hole on about 5 holes in the end.
It would appear its worked well with good up and down speeds. Amazing.
I’ll see how it goes tonight, I’m worried I will wake to a molten plastic mess.
