Recapping Tutorial - how to replace old, leaky surface mount electrolytic capacitors

About this video

Surface-mount electrolytic capacitors that have leaked are replaced on a Macintosh Classic II motherboard, with guides to recapping other Macs linked.

Good to know: A compact Mac's tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside. Soldering means burns and fumes.

Why watch it

The video keeps to one machine, a Macintosh Classic II, and a site of capacitor replacement guides for other Macs is linked underneath.
