Well I just replaced some caps on my vp6.. I came into 2 holes that wouldn't melt and give. I had to press the damn soldering tip from my hakko FP-102 for a while until it would melt, even with fresh solder.. I have no idea what kind of solder abit is using but its not light. I finally got them cleared and new caps in.. But the back of the board is somewhat "burned" from the excessive heat. To top it off, the two panasonic caps between the AGP and PCI are too big. I am hoping tomcat will sell me those two. I couldn't plug my video card in, but the system did turn on without blowing up . It posted two beeps.. Which is prob from the video card not being in. It took me a while to learn and start heating both leads up on a cap instead of one.. Man did things speed up after that.. I also came into less clogged holes that way. Hope my board is ok, the pcb just looks brownish around those two annoying holes..
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Just install the caps between the AGP and PCI1 sideways. I do that on all of them. Stops the caps from interfering with AGP cards. Locating low-profile caps to fit that is impossible with a quality brand.<--- Badcaps.net Founder
