The problem is when the capacitors leak juice out it changes the chemistry of the solder or something. Unsodering leaked caps is often a difficult mess. I don't know if the IIci uses surface mount caps or not. I haven't had one in a long time (but wouldn't mind another one, they are cool. I was eyeballing that one at Festivus or whatever.) One thing you can do, clean it off as much as possible then try to add new solder to the old solder first, then try to desolder it. Another trick is cutting away the old cap first using snips, but this brings the risk of pulling up traces. Similar to the other poster, I always use leaded solder. I don't know anyone that uses lead free at home. On Sat, 19 Sep 2020, Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic wrote: [NON-Text Body part not included]
