Count me in. Lifted my first on my Portable today. That will teach me to try to pull caps the quick way. There was a good amount of goo that attacked it underneath. The solder doesnt flow so well with that crap all over it. I was able to clean it up, repair the traces, put on the new capacitor and get it to boot again.

Needless to say the rest got cut off, can pulled and legs desoldered. It's the only real way to deal with the crusty old ones. Now to finish the rest on my Classic II board.
