    I worked in a PCB factory for about 2 years, and replacing SMDs was part of my job. The correct way to install a surface-mount electrolytic capacitor (as well as other types of SMDs) is to add a little solder to one of the pads, which you'll use to tack the capacitor in place. Then solder the leg that isn't tacked down, which will give you a proper solder joint on that leg, then reflow the solder on the tacked-down leg, which will give you a proper solder joint on that leg too. A small, angled, conical tip is ideal for installing SMDs. At work we used Metcal STSS and MX-500 solder stations with STTC-126 tip cartridges (I have the same setup at home too), along with 0.015" diameter Alpha Metals SMT Core Cleanline Plus 63/37 solder (P1 flux percentage) for tiny SMTs, and 0.020" diameter for through-hole components.

I have to admit, I think this is how most of us have things around here: a unregulated soldering iron from 80s or 90s and no flux. At least that's how things have been for me for years. Two damage that could have been avoided with flux and an iron at the proper temperature.

    When soldering surface mount capacitors by hand, apply a SMALL amount of solder to one of the pcb pads. Hold the cap on the pads pressing down slightly and heat the pre-tinned pad to melt the solder, and seat the cap in place. Then solder the other lead. Finally, reflow the first lead with a bit of flux and you're done!

    Yep, that's leaked caps in the second power supply. That's just exactly what it looks like. Even the corrosion visible from the outside is caused by the caps. Had this happen to several Mac PSUs. You HAVE to replace them, especially the output filter caps. These are early low-ESR caps (early nichicon PL/PM series) which are notorious for leaking. And if the leakage didn't already spread over the whole board (and shielding), it might have accumulated UNDER the caps, where it functions as a conductor between the terminals of the cap. All the stuff you can see on the dead PSU is actually capacitor leakage. And another thing (yeah, there are many methods, i know): After taking it out of the dishwasher and removing leftover electrolyte, i would place the board into some distilled water for some time to dissolve any minerals from the tap water and invisible leftover electrolyte that stayed on the board.

    @@cekpi7 It's great, but only helpful once solder starts flowing. You can see this highlighted at 2 points in the video. The first is when he's removing leads. The solder is very old and oxidized and on the second lead takes some effort to get enough heat transferred to melt the solder. A dab of flux when dealing with old solder makes things so much easier. The second is when adding on the new caps. You'll notice he tins the pads and the leads, this makes it much harder to install as the surfaces are uneven. He's doing it though because it distributes flux, it'd be much easier to add flux as it's own step instead of tinning everything.

Most of the time when i'm quickly trying to solder something i put component in place and just use solder with flux in it to solder it, not tinning each component before, this way surface is even and flux can reach both pcb and component at the same time. It's not wrong it just takes much more efford and time to do it right.

    Actually there is a different methode to solder those smd parts. Remove the old solder from all pads, THEN pre tin only one pad. Put the part to solder on the pads and heat the one pad you pre tined. The part will sink into the solder. You can then solder each and every leg with standard solder with flux core. A needle tip and a 8 to 20 watt iron is warmly recommended for that technique.

    Great result, David! I can confirm that the twisting cap method is effective. Also, I have washed many boards in a dishwasher with no adverse effects. I do remove the RAM and socketed chips to be safe. And dishwasher detergent is an effective method of cleaning ‘Cap Juice’ from boards. After the dishwashe, be sure to flush the boards with isopropyl alcohol and then deionised water to rinse any debris from the board. Airdusters are good to blow water from under chips and chip carriers. Compressor air is not a good source as it can contain moisture and unless it is properly earthed, may be damaged with ions in the compressor air. In work we place boards to be dried in an oven at 50° C for up to thirty minutes to drive out any moisture.

    TDK power supplies all go eventually tick-tock (literally!) when the secondary filter caps leak. I repaired about 30 of them, don't ask why. All of them needed just the capacitors, and I even started to recap them on sight even those which were still working. You did it almost 100% right, only concern would be that you missed two capacitors near the RAM slots. Also the corrosion around the legs of the small chips and the audio IC (the big chip in the left corner) is still present. I usually did a bulk recap of about 10 boards and put them all in dishwasher 2-3 cycles before soldering new capacitors. For the capacitors, I used tantalum ones at first, but when my stock of them dried up, I switched to ceramic ones and polymer for the values I couldn't get ceramics. Much better in the long run and they will not leak again! Few Mac systems that need recaps are: Mac SE/30, Mac II series, all Mac Classic series, PowerBook 100, PowerBook 100-140-160 LCD screens, PowerBook Power Bricks!, all LC and Performa series, all Quadras and all PowerMacs 6100, 7100, 7200, etc. PowerBook Duos, PowerBook Duo Docks, internal CD-ROM drives in Quadras and PowerMacs (especially those with external caddies), some internal floppy drives, and I am sure I missed a few. These are just the ones I remember fixing :) Yes, even the Power Macintosh models started to have capacitor issues :(

    Hi David, Not an expert by I do rework some boards. Get some $5 Hakko SMD tweezers from Amazon, makes holding parts while you solder so much easier. Also worth considering getting a cheap hot air rework station. That way you just heat up the part and the caps lift right off. You can then flux and solder the replacements way easier. I spent $250 on mine, but I've used $100 stations and they're fine for what you're doing.

That still has a risk of stressing the pads, but not as much.

    @KeeDx3 Get two temperature controlled soldering irons. If you only have one, check out the TS100, it is pretty cheap and pretty good (but keep in mind that it requires 12-24V DC power; You can easily convert an old laptop PSU for that). Apply fresh solder to both capacitor pads. Set the irons to maybe ~370 degrees C, take one iron in each hand, and heat up both pads simultaneously. When the solder is melted, simply tilt the irons up in order to lift the cap off the board. This is a very effective and gentle way of removing SMD caps, or any other two pin SMD component, IMHO.

    Here's mine: 1- Using a hot air SMT reflow workstation, it's easier to both unsolder old caps and resolder the new ones. I use a a Gordak 952 myself, but better / more suitable solder rework stations also exist. *[1] 3- Someone else already said it, but using more solder flux is always better and makes everything much easier! You can always remove the excess flux with some alcohol. 3- I'd say using a pair of precision tweezers instead of plyers is also a must. If you're interested, watch Voultar's videos. He makes pretty awesome tutorials for doing work on retro hardware :) However, I approve of The 8-bit Guys method of breaking the leads, it's a safe method and the only downside is the extra time it takes, and that soldering job might not turn out just as clean and professional. That doesn't really matter, as the final results definitely work well. *[1] - (EDIT: as multiple people already said, it may not be a good idea to use hot air with corroded pads (like here) as you might risk breaking them apart. TBH, I have never worked on a PCB with "cap juice" on them before, and I just wanted to share my experience with you.

Components are not hermetically sealed, water can creep below components and eating away modern BGA soldering balls/ contacts, it even can creep into the components itself eating away the pins, in some rare cases it can even get it's way up to the Dye itself! So, if you use a dishwasher, do it on your own risk!

    Recapping really never hurts when refurbishing electronics. For power supplies it makes them far less likely to kill boards, and for things like CRT monitors it can actually make the geometry a lot more consistent as well as fixing color issues. If it’s something you care about that you’d like to stick around for a while recapping it will cut out the most common point of failure on a large amount of tech.

    @@Evildandalo Except sometimes you see really bad recap jobs where borderline unsuitable and suspicious caps have been used. Also when you install a new part, even if you don't use low-quality parts, sometimes you still can't be quite sure whether it's not a dud and whether it won't give up a short while later due to a latent defect, even if it reads fine at first sight. If they are through-hole, you lift up a leg, connect it to an LCR which measures ESR and leakage, and if it looks only slightly worse than a capacitor that is fresh out of the factory or exactly the same as one that spent just a couple years in storage, often the Nichicon caps you'll see in a C64 for example, well... if it has degraded this little in 30 years prior, it should be good to go for another 30, i see it as a lower risk just putting it straight back in. Also there's always a bit of a risk of damaging the board. I think it's best to ask around what the repair community consensus is, whether there are known issues with a particular product family or batch, and if there is a good possibility that there is, replace right away, otherwise, don't fix what isn't broken. Sometimes capacitors last less than 4 years, sometimes they are still perfect after 40, and it's dependent both on the capacitor, on the operating environment such as whether there are heat sources nearby, and on the circuit.

    Thanks for the inspiration! I just sent my Amiga 600 for recapping to a professional and he said there already was corrosion and leakage. He managed to repair everything, luckily.

    Thanks for the advice on capacitors! I'll definitely be checking my ti 99/4a this week. Also, I definitely recommend getting an ultrasonic cleaner for your boards, rather than the dishwasher. They are specifically designed for electronics, and should clean the boards off entirely

    I've not soldered SMD caps like you've done, but I have done many diodes for my mechanical keyboards. I use a pair of tweezers and a magnifying visor when I'm doing that kind of soldering. I do like the way you removed the caps and then the leads. Nicely done!

    As much compressed air as you use, you should get a Datavac blower, or some other kind of compressor/blower. A hot air reflow station would help a lot with the SMD components too, both soldering and desoldering.

    I used to be a body piercer , you should pick up some hemostats if you can find them! Can get them in quite a few different sizes to find the best fit for your hand, and at different lengths. They'd be perfect for those tiny pieces, i used them all the time for helping me screw on the threaded ends of jewelry in hard to reach ear piercings. I have big hands so that was always a pain spot for me lol love the videos man!

    And if you do it right. @The 8-Bit Guy : Put flux on the PCB (and the cap if you will) Put solder only on one pad of the PCB Gently maintain the solder barely melt on the PCB while placing the cap with a set of tweezers When in place, remove the solder iron from the pad. The cap should be soldered in the correct spot. Now, solder the other pad, without stress. When done, you can reflow (remelt) your first solder to release tension. Sounds hard, but it's awfully simple in fact.

    They make a little mini/micro hot air gun -- that is the ideal tool for desoldering and soldering tiny things like this. I saw it on some hard drive repair video a while ago. One tool I have for desoldering is a little popper vacuum pump thing. Works really great.
