BVision, SMT component resoldering?

[mikolas]

Hi!

I had my A1200 case open as usual while tracing some wires for the forthcoming case conversion. I managed to detach one of the SMT components on the BVision board, namely something marked J106. You can see the component at the right side of this picture, next to RAM chips: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/download_photos/bvision_front_big.jpg

Now, I have the component and the traces on the PCB also look clean. Is there an easy way to resolder the component back into place and does anyone know what the component actually is (I think it's a capasitor)?

Regards,
Mikko.

Fixed. Thanks for the help! Have to be a bit more careful in the future as the solder on some of these old components seems to be a bit fragile :-)

I used 20W one as that's what I had at hand. I've been thinking of getting a good solder station, but frankly I do any serious electronics stuff quite rarely and so I've been getting along with the 20W one so far. Used mainly for soldering adapters with a TTL here or there, cabling and replacing hazardous batteries :-)

The current project I'm onto is putting A1200 into my old Antec Overture HTPC case along with custom made keyboard adapter and ATX power adapter with flipflop circuit for the power control.
