I'm actually thinking about the 040 mod.
I think the capacitors may be the problem. The odor on the LC board seems to be coming from a capacitor. I'm not skilled enough with a soldering gun to do this myself so perhaps I'll send it to one of those soldering services (I think some people on this board offer them) when I get some free time (which will be scarce for me this semester as I am busy with two teaching practicums and plenty of tutoring opportunities, not to mention several classes).
The now-overpowered LC has been my study buddy since preschool so it was important that I got it back on its feet, especially since I like to look at my old 256-color dependent software for lesson inspirations.
