I just stripped down a powerbook duo 270c which has a busted screen. I have noticed that the few electrolytic SMD caps this board has, are starting to leak, leave signs
Recapping the logic board is an easy job. The radial SMD capacitors in the LCD panel are another issue. Have a look behind the foil that covers the back of the LCD panel of a Duo 280c. The LCD panel is full of small radial SMD capacitors, some of them are already leaking or have high ESR readings.
