After I pulled one of the pads I wasn't sure if I could bring this dusty beast back to life… but I bodged a tiny wire to the copper lead and it chimed after a full recap! | Posted by: herd on 2026-01-25 15:11:26
Nice work. Were the caps actually bad? I've measured a few here, but they are still good so far... | Posted by: iantm on 2026-01-26 16:16:17
There was a fair bit of gunk on the board, maybe mostly dust, but I've gathered it wise to recap anything more than ~20 years old from the forums. Either way, It was easy to source them with the help of Console5.com. The only caps I didn't replace are the tantalums and the ones on the CPU board. I was advised that those are probably just fine. | | 1 |
