How to verify if recapped or no...

[Chucky]

Thanks for the reply (And thanks to ALL replies by the way)

Any particular part of the board I should be capturing? (Sorry, I am not an electrical guy so I really don't know what I am looking for)

Just a decent pic of the entire board or is there a location in particular to zoom on?

the area close to the rf modulator, the area close to the audioports..

Those caps sure looks original.  and some joints even look greyish having leakageissues.

How in the world do you get access to this cap? It is very close to the keyboard connector.

Nice work!

I see that removing part of the keyboard connector gives you some more room to work with.  

In some ways, working with surface mount components is easier provided you have the right tools. I do not have a heat gun or a fine tip soldering iron with precise temp controls, however.

I'm surprised the heat gun did not cause damage to the keyboard connector. Guess you just have to be careful.

thin nozzle, 260-280 degrees an careful.  yeah
