Ultimate guide for recapping electronics (and consoles)

Post by VEGETA »

Hello,

I made the guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr7IEb0BEtA

I hope people in this community can benefit from this guide, this is my goal.

thanks!

Thanks for a written version. Only suggestions would be to have a TOC, condense the page if possible (the less scrolling the better), add any additional testing info you think relevant (ESR and multimeter perhaps? I'm sure you'd know better than I), and a checklist of probable issues for a given console if you cover specific consoles (e.g. the Xbox clock cap.).

Table of contents is on my list, but this is for the entire website not just for this post.

I have a playlist on my youtube channel for this recapping job, and will include all consoles that I have. I started with PSone and will make a written post about it soon. Once finished I can put all written guides in one place.
