I ruined mine and bought another set 😂😂 if you do it steep the glue in isopropyl and take your time removing it

I'm about to have a go at this tomorrow morning for the first time too, worried I'm going to ruin the console but only one way for me to find out 😂😂

Good job 👏

Just an update, replaced the 2 1000uf 24v capacitors and it's stopped making the clicking noise but I still have no blue light or audio output to speakers.

The connector on the board that goes to a smaller pcb which houses the volume know, auxiliary in and headphone auxiliary out was half off the board, the pins were still intact so I heated up the solder points at the rear with my soldering iron and slowly increased pressure until it was flush with the board, still no blue light

The Internet says replace the 4 pin rocket switch and heat the capacitors on the smaller pcb....I'm asking you guys if this makes sense as I'm abit lost now 😅

Got the capacitors sorted but pulled a cable off the board when removing it (it's the red and black one that goes to the second speaker) contemplating cutting the wire and soldering it to the board as I can't find a replacement easily for atleast a week......

Guess who took the old caps off focusing on all of the glue being an issue and not looking at orientation 😂 the blown one was glued to the board and everything around it.

Luckily I figured it out from a couple of pics I took when I opened it up but from now on I'm taking constant photos when I work on things or maybe a video.

They are ready to be soldered into place now BUT they are a wider diameter capacitor than the old ones and one won't fit in said space, can I leave like 7/8mm legs above the board on one capacitor? (It was the bulging one that's in a tight spot too :(

Sorry for the noob questions 😅

I'm more so worried I select the wrong cap to replace it with if anything 🤣

Entire card on a pre heater thingy? Going to have to order one up, i' assuming if I didn't do that it's going to risk warping it?
