Uniserver or Techknight can get it recapped and fixed if you like, J English Smith. If you like to do it yourself, talk to Trag, he has the caps for cheap. Look at Ferrix97's LC recapping videos on how to remove the caps without damaging the traces by rocking the caps back and forth. Link: Macintosh LC Restoration Video Series It works like a charm! Then cleaning the board becomes a breeze.
Using solder paste in a syringe for SMD/SMT soldering made the job easy! A tiny dab on the traces, put the cap on the dab and hold it down with a tweezer leg with one hand and touch the cap & solder on one side with the iron with the other until it starts to flow and then pull away. The touch the cap and solder with the iron on the other side until it starts to flow and pull away. There is a large cap by the ADB Port which makes it tricky to solder but not impossible.
TechKnight - I'll look into that this weekend when I recover. Got too much on my mind if you know what I mean. I think I'll multimeter the traces as I go from end to end and patch up what I find.
