it is not recommended to use old caps from another board but maybe you succeed
it is ok to go up one step, ie from 1800 to 2200 is ok. nothing bad is going to happen

So you are telling me that i can change from 1800 uf to 2200 uf and nothing is going to happen ?!?!?!? And it is a problem that i change only 2 of them ? i mean there are total like 6 capacitors with 1800 uf and 4 of them are in perfect condition , can i change only 2 of the 6 , i mean if i change 2 caps , i will have 2 caps with 2200 uf and 4 caps with 1800uf , will this cause problems or can i go with it ? Please tell me i want to begin the procedure if you aprove that it will be ok !!! HELP !!!

ROLI, did you use the 2200uf caps in place of 1800uf? If yes, what were the results? Was the board stable with these higher capacity caps?
