Tempest Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 $90 eh? Is that a normal price for something like this? I've never had to have this done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) well with some average soldering skills and best guess < 20 bucks worth of parts one could knock it out in an afternoon... course you gotta count time, and finding the proper replacements, shipping time and wonder if you screwed it up is 90$ steep, maybe for a cap change, but your getting fresh lube and a laser alignment as well Edited August 18, 2014 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) jesus, rusty nail, prying up caps, gloppy soldering and hot glue, that was painful to watch I like the second guy taking is obviously underpowered soldering iron and stabbing the QFP chip next to it repeatedly also, question, why does everyone fiddle fart making though hole caps fit on surface mount pads, smt caps are not anymore difficult than clipping bending positioning THEN surface mounting though holes Edited August 19, 2014 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Well I guess this guy is an option, but I'd rather go through an AA member or someone I know. The laser adjustment is a nice touch, but I don't think my unit needs it as it's basically NOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
