Скачать или смотреть Neo Geo Cap Kit Installation

Arcade operators do some strange sh*t to boards. This one came in for repair with a complaint of "low volume" but had already been recapped. I found that someone scraped the bottom of the parts bin when they did this one. Mismatched caps of different sizes, poor quality, and differing voltages were installed and 9 of the 14 4.7uf caps were replaced with bipolar caps!(????)

Those caps were replaced with ones of better quality and of the proper physical size for the space in between the boards. I also talk about the pesky heavy ground traces and show how to use a soldering iron on top of the board to help with the extra heat required to easily remove those 100uf, 22uf, and 470uf caps.

At one spot in the video I call out some 4.7uf caps as 1uf... OOPS. I'm human. :)
