Equip Your Motherboard With New Capacitors
We have de-soldered all flawed capacitors from the motherboard and can equip it with our substitutes. Watch the capacitors' polarity while doing so. If you confuse plus with minus, what you get will be an exploding capacitor and a lot of hard work for nothing. New capacitors come with a longer-legged plus pole. To make sure you get things right, take a closer look at the capacitor: Its body carries a labelling, e.g. numerous "minus" symbols and an arrow pointing at the associated leg. Both poles are also clearly tagged on your motherboard.
Watch the polarity when equipping your motherboard.
Shifting the capacitor all the way down.
Slightly bend anode and cathode (legs) to the side, so the capacitors won't fall out after placing them on the board.
Soldering the capacitors...
...and pruning left-over material.
Done! Ideally, your motherboard is ready for operation again.

This is the kind of things I like to do! Just have to get a sucking solder and a meter!
Tnx..
Hey... Can I use a hand-held soldering iron and manual suction pump? I see some guides that say it is possible. Can it be done?
