Try putting a drop of flux on the braid just before pressing down on it with the iron against the pad. And be extra careful ; easy to rip off pads if you let the solder solidify (i.e. braid stuck to pad)...

Re: Nintendo Wii power supply
Agreed. But when I'm ordering parts and unsure of the extent of the damage I'll usually add some of the surrounding / suspicious parts too especially jellybean stuff like Alu caps....Leave a comment:

Re: Nintendo Wii power supply
Assuming your diagnostic is correct and that particular capacitor is indeed the problem.
To state the obvious - match physical size as closely as possible (pin spacing, external dimensions). I'd also pick one with also a +105C rating. And of course only buy replacement parts with proper datasheets which give lifetime estimates etc...
While you're in there look closely at the other caps too.Leave a comment:
