You gotta try the hot air method! You can decap a board in 5 minutes! Great work!

Or even the wiggle method. Just bend the caps back and forth until the legs break off, so fast to remove caps like that.

I’m not sure how confident I am putting hot air near caps. I made that mistake once and not too willing to try it again 😂

Nice walkthrough, thank you. Glad to see I'm not the only one to struggle with the power board 😅 What references of capacitors do you use ?

Oh man! The power board.. what is up with them? Worst part of a recap. When you ask for references, what are you asking for?

@@Smanux I use Rubycon for the mainboard and power board, nichicon for the soundboard.
Curious, do you guys do the Nomad as well? *wink* *wink*

Hi, I’ve not worked on a nomad yet, but in principle they are similar to both the game gear and mega drive.
