I have an old Mikrotik board with one bulging capacitor. It still works, but the cap doesn't look healthy.
I have tried replacing it, however it seems to ignore my soldering iron like it's a toothpick. I do suspect an industrial-strength lead used during manufacturing.
How do I remove it without damaging the PCB and (more importantly) surrounding components which might be more temperature-sensitive.

Re: Terramaster F2-220 NAS
I have F2-221. These boards are made by [url]https://www.gifaipc.com/[/url], might be worth sending them a letter if someone can draft one in Mandarin.
Out of curiosity, is there a chance you can dump its BIOS? As an experiment, I wonder it this would allow to revive the [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=114923"]dead 221[/URL].Re: Terramaster F2-220 NAS<br /> <b...e in Mandarin.

GIFA Industrial TM-J3355-2G2L (Terramaster F2-221 NAS)
Hi,
Running out of options, my NAS has decided to stop working.
After poking around I have noticed that SPI flash does not respond to read attempts (verified with 2 different programmers).
The board uses 1.8v Winbond W25Q64FW. I would seriously appreciate if someone could help with a dump that can be used to revive the machine. Then I can purchase the new SOIC chip, flash it and replace one currently soldered to the board.
Fingers crossed!
