fun stuff to do over your weekend =)
i did this mod because i cannot afford the expensive capacitors and opapms
nobody taught me how to happy.gif just do it at own risk but it was fun!

ok here is the original cheapo jamicon,wincap and some nichicon

if you are noobie at this like me then you might want to do this soldering technique
if you leave the solder there for too long, you might burn your precious component

to desolder the original caps, first you must apply a little more flux cored solder on each leg real fast (don't let it get too hot) then you heat both legs stimutanously while using your fingers to pull the capacitor out over the other side. If you burn your fingers, it means its getting too hot =) so its a free warning. try to do this real quick (you can practice this with broken stuff if available) apply flux paste a little round the area before soldering helps not burning your components. do not worry about the mess, you can clean up with alcohol later.

hehe i forgot that you need to source for capacitors of the same value before actually dismantling your sound card. i got most of my elnas and panasonics from old car cassette head units donated, stolen and discarded. =)
i bought a few sblives from garage sales just in case i killed something, but i got right on the 2nd try. YAY!



earlier, i put in big caps at the output but not really happening cause the sounds strange.
you get most big difference if you change the caps at the output but if you change all, of course better la. don't let the 1 bad apple ruin your whole basket right? no? i don't know... i just try to hantam change as many as i can =)

ok now comes the hard part. leave a small amount of solder on the holes from the previous cap or add some more until you can 'double' solder to melt both while pushing the new cap in from the other side. make sure you do it fast as not to burn anything. again, practice makes perfect! the suck suck thingy helps when you get to much solder on your crap.

it might look like a random recap job but i started to replace caps from the big chip thingy to the outputs first because i do not have enough parts =(

a few burnt fingers later (imanoob). i tested it on a 'disposable' computer. and HEY! it works on the first go!
i don't bother to clean up hehe cause im lazy and went sampling sounds to songs on my headphones! wooo hoooo~ sounds great!!! sounds much more awesomer than the stock ones.



no need long to 'burn-in' caps haha so fast rolling oledi.

if you think you can help me improve my mod please do post replies! =)
THANK YOU　Najmods
