Re: [H] Anyone here replacing bad caps?

[dsinc]

While I do agree that you have much more experience replacing these caps 
than I do, please be aware that unless you heat the soldered holes enough 
to get the remaining solder to flow properly, you do run the risk of 
creating cold solder joints at the board or on the leads of the new 
caps.  Also just using this heat/press process eliminates the added flux 
that fresh solder supplies.  The flux cleans the surfaces and helps the 
solder flow. JMHO.

hasn't yet, either way you need to apply enough heat to melt the solder 
and fill the hole and I figure if the hole is filled no added solder 
needed and less heat needed.
works for me on rare occasion I think it is worth it.

fwiw I leave the holes filled and just heat them up and push in the 
caps, works for me. do not have to add and solder.
Doesn't heating up the filled holes damage the board?
