Back to the original topic. So after the wash the Mac worked fine for 2 days then started giving the simasimac increasingly frequently and now it's back to not booting any longer, sitting at the zebra screen. I went around my new caps and resoldered a few, also I did solder the replacement RP2 for good but it didn't help.

One question I have to ask though. The specs for cap C6 are 1 uF 50V, the closest I could find at the local electronic store (RadioShack) is 1 uF 35V, I was wondering if there could be a problem of premature failure under stress. I had a C6 at 1 uF 35V on a different board run fine for several years but I wanted to ask.
