  • i use a pump instead of toothpicks...call me unprofessional...

  • @Mrinfoone The negative side would be the one that has a white stripe and "-" symbols running down it. Install it the same direction you took the old one out. Some boards have a small white square next to the side the negative pin goes.

  • which the negative side of the cap? and how do you install it on the board?

  • @MegaMario202 I reacted on that too. My though was, however, there is a risk of the copper strip to come loose. You can actually pull out the electrolytic capacitor "cold". The pind will pop out of the capacitor and you can much easier use this desoldering method on the two pins alone. Ofcourse this only works with dried and bad capacitors, as the capacitor will be unusable anyway after pulling.

  • A little bit of flux goes a long way to desoldering old joints.

  • looks like that iron is not grounded... that's really bad

  • Perfect!

  • Great video, plus that there was no music. Some voice would help, to help guide through... Thanks though got the job done!

  • a good quality fine braid does a better job

  • Thanks for sparing us the music. People really do love their shitty techno and heavy metal.
