Dear Albert, what is the value of the third capacitor? in my case it is this one that must be changed.

Using Good Flux will make the work easy while de-soldering any component from this type of PCB.

Good Repair! Albert...
You are right removing capacitors from multi layer PCB is critical job and PCB may be damage beyond repair.

probably correct, it sure ain't about making money these days in the US, try finding a tech, I mean a good, knowledgeable tech around here. Nope, no money in it, they left and went to a job that could pay the rent...

In reply to Albert van Bemmelen.

By-the-way: Both bad 470uF 16V e-caps were only removable from the Lacie Sata controller board by using my old Ersa MS 6000 solder Iron station at the right temperature and by applying new solder to the cap legs first. And by simultanous pulling out the legs of each capacitor while heating the solder. Otherwise removing those caps was close to impossible because of the very narrow holes that held the cap legs. Using my desolder gun or my hot air station failed to be of any use in this case. And this also meant that inserting the new caps only could be done by pressing the legs through the heated and still solder containing via's. The via holes were so narrow that opening them by removing the solder for easy inserting the replacement e-caps was even impossible with my solder gun or desolder hand pump. And with many computer mainboards this is often the only way how to replace bad e-caps or other through-hole soldered components.

In reply to Parasuraman S.

If someone fits that puchline even more it may be you dear Parasuraman, after all those meticulous repairs with the many bad e-caps and those tv sets that hardly were repairable which you got fixed as if they were never even used before! When I see so many bad e-caps in devices I quickly start thinking if it is worth the time and capacitors.
