Odd how it always seems to be capacitors, had to replace 3 in my Pajero (Shogun) ECU, then from dead to running perfectly

with that, the goo drained out of them with the heat cycles & upset the pcb & legs, so had to be a little creative with the dremel, tinned copper wire & some good old fashioned leaded solder.... the ROHS compliant stuff is rubbish, just can't take the heat cycles & crack (which is why the nvidia GRAPHICS chipsets on laptops give up- so never let your teenagers use them on their beds - blocking the ventilation as well as clogging the heatsinks)

Not afraid to get oily & dirty, or burn my fingers with the Weller, Pace, or gas iron...

Curious to see how you get on with it HP
