Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement


 

I have successfully changed all the caps in one of mine, a a few other as well.
I used a fairly powerful iron with a broad and thick tip. That will melt the solder very quickly, especially if you add some in the process for better heat conductivity. Suck the solder one pad at a time. When all the pads are done, reheat them a bit, one at a time, and slightly wiggle the cap from underneath. Do that very gently; some pads are also connected on the other side. If you don¡¯t suck all the solder, you risk breaking the pad when pulling the cap. Remember to check all the connections on the other side of the board too.

Hope that helps.
