Hi all-

I'm new to this site, however, i do know that it is an excellent resource for information. Many people have experienced this exact same problem, but i may need

assistance in this. my mac's screen has been twitching very badly these past few weeks, so i decided to open my mac. when i looked inside, i removed the motherboard. upon further inspection, i found that the capacitors near the video processor had small visible rings of liquid around them. so, i have decided to purchase a desoldering kit and use my iron to remove these caps. any idea on where i could purchase capacitors? and also, of what type? ceramic, snap caps, or use the same liquid filled type? help would be much appreciated. :simasimac:
