See C13 in the attached photo. I need to replace some blown caps on a few
boards [1]. In one instance the cap got so hot it melted itself off the board.
Quiet convenient, actually -- it acts like its own fuse -- but I don't think
the 5071 designers had that clever feature in mind.
Having not done SMT before, how should I do it with minimal risk to the very
precious PCB. Or, what equipment should I use this as a good excuse to buy?
Suitable hot tweezers would do this just fine, for both the removal and
the replacement.
this kind of thing

You need a good magnifier or stereo microscope, and some orange sticks
to hold things in place while you solder, etc.
However, I've been given to understand that there is another superior
brand (on this list.. )
Thanks,
