leaky capacitors yet again
« on: October 13, 2017, 07:23:33 AM »
This is turning out to be worse than that battery thing. (at least there's only one batt per Amiga)
What would be good replacement for such capacitors? Some would use tantalums or similar, but other disagree?

I got this Amiga600, and think its capacitors leaked. There is that bad smell, and sometimes video out loses colour. Some solder points look a bit 'dull'.
Anyway, by now, we should replace all electrolytic capacitors, not just audio.

I'd say yes. otherwise the damage has already been done. that is, unless you regularly open it up, check traces, etc.
it seems quite difficult to de-solder leaked SMD cap, so I'll leave it this time to pro.
( I had lift a trace or two on A4000D :( )
