IF you have the right tools. You definitely want ot call around to
find someone who can work with Surface Mount devices.
It is possible to do this at home, see:

Thanks for the video tutorial ... very nice.
I also found replacement mobo's on eBay for $45 (including shipping!).
Found someone local who was very nice and did it for $10. Took an
identical capacitor off another damaged board, and soldered it to the
working board. Had all the right tools, and skills.
Now to put it to the test, and rebuild my QS.
