Re: Amiga A1200 recapping
My experience of surface mount electrolytic capacitors is that they all go bad (either leaking or going high ESR) eventually. Certainly with this early revision A1200, there was leakage. On the later revision, the capacitors appear slightly different (different brand?) and no signs of leakage. The ESR also checks ok, although to be fair, I haven’t actually removed to check properly, which is my next step when I have a bit more time, and will report back.
