Re: Dell Dimension 8400 V-Core caps

Hi all,

I have to agree on using a finger drill with appropriate bit. Anyone who thinks they might be doing alot of rework on multi layer boards should have a set of #61-80 drill bits and a finger drill. Its easy getting the old caps out, heat and pull, then clean up the holes as best you can, then slowly drill them. The solder is softer than the copper pass through so guides it nicely. Makes fast work of a sometimes daunting task.
