Acer AL1917 restarting

Re: Acer AL1917 restarting

Yes, that's it. Basically, I thought the cap is onnected only to one side, but there was trace from one side to other and cap was just soldered to the middle of it. I've just used short wire to connect it to the nearest joint.

It took some time to learn to be more carefoul than with 60W, but now it's quite OK. It is on the other hand wonderful for soldering in PSUs near ouput cabes (where tends to be lot of solder) or on newer motherboards with hard solder and also thick copper layers.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the southern trace is going under the lower diode and should be connected with the right joint of the SMD position which is vacant there.
