Where can I get two capacitors replaced by unsoldering them?

Question

and soldering the new ones back on?

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Radio Shack

Answer 2

The first thing to determine is the size of them. Then google. Best to order online

Answer 3

Here's an idea for you:

Grab an old junk board and do some practice runs with the soldering iron. Remove some components and apply some solder to it. Get the feel of how to do it without lifting any traces or frying any components. It's not too difficult once you get the feel of how to do it.

Another idea is to go to practically any electronics repair shop or one of your friends and see if they can do it for you. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for them to do it.

One more thing, if there is a + on the capacitor, that means it is polarized and it needs to be installed in the correct direction.

I wish you the best of luck.

Maybe radio shack but their choices are getting smaller and smaller.  I like this place, you can get a catalog or order on line

To get the old solder off you can use a desoldering copper braid,

Radio shack probably still has that also, you just position the braid over the old solder, heat it up with your soldering iron and the old solder wicks right up the braid, it does a good job.

u can do it!!!!  If best buy has a shop they could, probably someone at radio shack...it's really easy
