I'm replacing the notorious SMD electrolytic capacitors in the Amiga 600 I repaired in the last video. This is not meant to be a tutorial but I'm giving some (hopefully useful) insights about how I approach the problem. Hope this helps keeping more Amigas alive.

Here's the video about repairing the A600: https://youtu.be/655BQ1Ro6Zk

Here's my video about repairing and recapping a Macintosh SE/30: https://youtu.be/SysVtQvPiQ8

Capacitor lists with part numbers (for easy ordering) for many Amiga models: https://www.ikod.se/repairs/capacitor-lists/

Jeff from the Hey Birt! YouTube channel recently made a handy color-coded map of capacitor positions for the different A600 revisions: http://www.soigeneris.com/document/vintcom/Amiga_600_Capacitor_Map.pdf
