I need to check my LC. I recapped it years ago and completely forgot about this thread. 😱

This could be worse: apparently some Acorn A5000s came from the factory with every surface mount capacitor reversed: https://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30408

Bumping this thread for 2025. I'm doing my LC III now, and of course the three PSU capacitors had turned to dust lol.

Here is a photo of C22 installed "correctly" so as not to explode.
