Hi guys ,
I have this working ATX MB.It is some sort of old one.
But I want to keep it in use - it still works.
But when cleaning it inside , I noticed a bulging electrolyte.
With a little leakage on the top.
I am not really sure if it is a multi layer MB.
I`m going to replace the cap - but what is the best way to do it ?
I`m thinking to cut the cap into half - and then leave the 2 wires soldered
on the MB.
And then soldering the new cap to those 2 wires.
So , no de - soldering of the cap ( as to not damage any possible connections with layers , in between the pcb ).
What do you guys think ?
