SS_Dave Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Replace with the same rating and voltage as the ones in the board. and replace the 1 or 2 cap's next to the power connector as well I use either Nichicon, Panasonic, Rubycon brand low ESR type capacitors but any low ESR caps will work just buy the from a reputable sell as there are fakes out there.

HelouHill Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Tried to replace the components but the tin won´t melt. Any tips? Temperature were like 500c but nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
