Hopefully you cleaned any leakage present from the original capacitors. Failure to do so can result in future damage as corrosive chemicals continue to eat away at traces. I always recommend that an M100 board be thoroughly cleaned with 100% isopropyl alcohol and Kimwipes (or similar) front and back to remove the LARGE amount of flux residue from original manufacture. This residue becomes conductive over time and both Jeff Birt and I have seen ill effects from it.
