A agree regarding to the multi-layer, I only half agree regarding to replacing the capacitors. Could you post a link to a photo? "rusty looking" could be flux, it not implicitly has to be a broken capacitor. We unlikely will be able to spot it by a photo, but you never know. However, if you have to ask, than don't unsolder them on your own ;). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
