A4000 sound problems and AmigaKit

[bakoulis]

My A4000 start produce stranger sounds 5 minutes after first ON (tsaf-bam-paf-bizz-boom) even without playing any music or sound. I am sure 99% is the well known sound capacitors problem. So with some research I found a capacitors service from AmigaKit.
Anyone knows how I do? Can I send my amiga mobo to AmigaKit and then pay for service? It must first buy the "Capacitor Replacement Service" and then send the mobo to AmigaKit or What is the right way. Please help.

The link of service is: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=53&products_id=932

I know the AmigaKit is a member of Amiga.org. I have took answers via amiga.org to the past from him. So, the questions here help other people with same problems to find the right solutions. I belive he will answer to me the next few hours. ;-)

Yes, the liquid electrolyte in the 47?F and 100?F capacitors is quite stable by comparison.  Tests from random samples show that the marked capacity is within tolerance and leaking in these capacitors is much less of a problem.

Obviously if the customer wants to pay extra to have them replaced, then that's fine.  Generally I don't replace them unless they are suspect or there are other reasons to do so.  Keeping in mind this is a commercial service, you've got to draw the line somewhere, else repair costs quickly begin esculating to the point where it's no longer economic.

Realistically, you could replace every part on the board that has a possibility of maybe failing sometime, such as SIMM sockets which are known for retaining clips breaking, or every IC socket in an A3000 because they're common trouble causes too.  But the majority of customers simply want to spend the least amount possible to have things work reliably.  A minority of customers do pay to have all these such parts replaced to future proof themselves as much as possible, so no problem.

This is from over 15 years commercial experience at this, and not just with Amigas...

New Zealand is not near to me. So if send you my mobo I expect to replace all the suspect cms caps as well, because you are very far for me and posts to N.Z. is slow and expensive.
Give me a price for full caps replace (not simm socket, not battery - have removed). My location is Greece Athens Galatsi 11147.

Nice, so write me your address to send the mobo. The payment will be via PayPal. I belive will have sent it until friday. A friend will help me Thursday afternoon to disassemble.  Unfortunally Sat-Sun-Mon-Tue are holydays and the post services is slow or zero.
