Great info...thanks!! Wesley
-----Original Message----- The easiest way to remove them is to get two soldering pencils and apply one to each lead on the cap until the solder is fully melted and the capacitor will lift up without applying any substantial force. Getting impatient and forcing the cap up leads to lifted pads and torn traces. I use a pair of 15 watt soldering pencils from radio shack for this ( < $10 each) but 15 watts is a little underpowered. It takes a little longer than optimum to heat the caps enough to remove them. A pair of 25 watt or even 40 watt might be better. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
