  Your ability to "chat" with your audience as you do your work is amazing - it's almost like we're there with you having a conversation! Excellent YT skillset, Adrian.

  Adrian is the Bob Ross of recapping, the random chatting is great.

  Hi Adrian,<br>According to my research, the so-called capacitor plague is caused by chemical decomposition of the electrolyte. Hydrogen gas is being formed, causing the safety valve to spew out whatever electrolyte is left in the capacitor. The electrolyte itself mainly consists of water, ethylene glycol and boric acid. Other types of acid or bases may be present too. From a chemists point of view: you should consider using a double treatment, first with a mild base like a solution of sodium carbonate (soda), followed by another treatment with a mild acid like white vinegar or even citric acid. Generally I would prefer citric acid over vinegar as citric acid is just more capable of complexing metal ions.

  FYI, If you replace electrolytic capacitors with ceramic capacitors you really should use ceramic capacitors that are rated for at least 2-3 times the voltage the capacitor will see. The reason is ceramic capacitors actually have lower capacitance the closer they get to their rated voltage. The loss of capacitance is often severe - 60% or more if they are operated near their rated voltage. <br><br>Using a capacitor rated for a higher voltage mitigates this by shifting the operating voltage further down so the capacitance ends up close to the expected value while in circuit. <br><br>Some manufacturers of ceramic capacitors (such as Murata) publish charts showing exactly how much the capacitance drops in relation to rated voltage and operating voltage for each model capacitor.

  I&apos;m consistently impressed at how I can watch a video for more than an hour and be engrossed the entire time. It&apos;s so rare I find someone who can do that!

  While you&apos;re taping over the SIMM sockets, you might want to slap a piece on the CPU socket too if you&apos;re going to leave the CPU out while you&apos;re doing solder work on the board.

  This video has made me realize that it&apos;s absurd that I&apos;m intimidated by recapping a board when I&apos;ve built several keyboards using SMD diodes.

  This is completely wrong. &nbsp;You’re supposed to lift the caps off with a levitation spell and use melted gummy bears for flux. &nbsp;Duh

  Twist and press down is the best way to remove those caps. Fully agree! Thanks for sharing
