Alright I screwed that up... Anyone know where to get a mobo replacement cheap?

Wow, I would've never considered that, clever.
Alright, I'll give it a shot later tonight. No harm in trying one I suppose....

Re: Toshiba M65, can anyone cross these caps?

Well, that explains a lot. So, I'm guessing the caps I ordered with legs I won't be able to use here, right? It appears I need to order surface mount caps... I don't see surface mount caps in the product list here though. Does badcaps sell them?

Re: Toshiba M65, can anyone cross these caps?

I know this thread is extremely dated, but I happen to be replacing the caps on my mother's laptop, and I've got a question. I don't see where the solder is on the bottom of the motherboard, and therefore, no holes where the legs would fit through. I see the solder on the top of the motherboard, but the solder on the bottom doesn't match the top. Am I supposed to use the existing legs of the old capacitors, or are there holes somewhere that the cap legs will actually fit through?
