[vcf-midatlantic] Recapping a Mac IIci

[Sentrytv]

I know this may not be ROHS compliant but:

Use standard 60/40 rosin core solder of the correct diamete.
 basically a thin diameter.
It will melt faster and be easier work to with. especially  smaller components.

I know I might get a little flak for this but it’s what I do and it’s older equipment.

But, at least it’s running. I suspect there is an issue with the power switch itself on this board, and the positioning of it (the twist, horizontal or vertical) doesn’t seem to matter. I did swap power supplies and that has no effect.

I found that the solder Apple used doesn’t melt well with a regular iron and I would up lifting a pad getting a cap off.
