is it possible to pop out thos capacitors without a hot air blower? i've recaped my motherboard and managed to fix the screen by using the iron on the little rectangle next to it (sorry if i'm not very understandable, i'm french and my english is far from perfect ^^) and the last i have to do is sound board (no sound at all at the moment). I thought maybe using flux but i'm not sure at all if it could work
I've not tried other methods. You could use 2 soldering irons (one on each side), but you probably don't have 2. Some people like to twist off the cap with a pair of pliers, but if you do that then you risk pulling the pad (the little rectangle) off the board. You could try "Chip Quik" which is low melting point solder, and try to desolder both sides at same time with the iron.
@@DavePoo2 thanks, i'm not sure if i'll try this, i'm just gonna buy a hot air blower (in the end it will be useful for other projects too), just got to remember to desolder the plastic connectors ;) have a great day (by the way, i've got more then 5 irons but low quality or pretty old ^^)
i seem to be the only one that got a cap kit with surface mount caps, freaking impossible to do with my soldering iron, i got this kit years ago when i was a kid and i had to give up on it quickly, the seller forgot to include a capacitor for the main board, i told him that and he was super stubborn about it, i thought i was just the one that was inexperienced so i didn't stand my ground and i didn't end up getting a replacement from the guy. i just found everything again and i was absolutley right in noticing the cap wasn't included, i've gotten over that problem but now the sound board is being very fidgety with the surface mount caps :( good video though! hahah
It is possible to solder surface mount caps with your soldering iron. I did this video on recapping the Amiga 600 surface mount caps, so check that out -> ruclips.net/video/Rb77VOHj0WQ/видео.html But if you've manged it now, then you are all good. Shame that your seller didn't include the correct caps, the only good thing about buying a cap kit is that you don't have to go and search around for all the correct caps as they have done the work for you, so when they get that wrong, it would have been easier to source your own caps.

You skipped the most important bit, showing how to place the capacitors. 3 seconds of it, what a joke
