Ok so after cleaning up the solder. With some help from my cousin I finally managed to re-solder the caps on.

I will post the pictures.

The first picture are all the lights.

I'm sure you guys have probably already...

The laptop I'm fixing is the Toshiba satellite A205. A friend of mine was having problems with it. Here is what he told me. That the laptop would freeze whenever the AC adapter is plugged in and that it wont boot when the adapter is plugged in....
