Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Brian,
Thanks for your recommendations, I'll have to think about how I am going to approach this repair.

A few things that are going to cause me some headaches are:

1) the one bad capacitor and the fluid it leaked (would like to remove some of the fluid on the PCB but don't want to damage the board any more).

2) the plastic (conformal?) coating on the board has bubbled up because of the fluid and is making it hard to see the damage and access the PCB

3) the area where the cap is, is in-between two small 2.5cm high boards that are perpendicular to the PCB I am trying to repair, i.e. hard to see and get my hands into for repair (I think I'll be using tweezers).


Any other input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
