Hi all!

I'm in the process of resurrecting my SE/30 and, well... count me in:

:-(

Yes, that's the pad of the + side of C4 (1 uF) -- or lack thereof. You can also see some stuff where C6 was -- it exploded while desoldering it!

Of course, I kept the lifted pad, among the old capacitors, just in case:

BTW, before my Pad Lifting excercise, I managed to skew (?) the + pad of C10:

I've got the proper capacitor set (thanks again, trag!) but I really need to wash the motherboard, like in , so my question is:

May I proceed with washing, or should I repair the pad first? I've read about the repair procedure here, but any advice is welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance!
