Since so many troubleshooting threads wind up like this:

An official detailed recapping guide for every model would be an excellent thing to have in the Hacks & Development forum. I know we have some already, but I'll have to think about some sort of formatting for entries. I'll start with one of the boards I need to tackle first, Im thinking along the lines of having a pic of the MoBo with info boxes, witnesse lined to each cap on the board and a netlist of caps . . .

(Obligatory) Disclaimer: the information linked to, and crosslinked from, this thread is a WORK IN PROGRESS and care should be taken in determining which parts and methods are chosen for each and every recapping project.

Clarification:

This thread is not the aforementioned . . . official detailed recapping guide for every model . . . by any stretch of the imagination. Consider it as the very first baby step headed in that direction. As suggested, developing a set of definitive WiKi articles would be the most desirable outcome for this project.

OUTRIGHT WARNING!

I certainly have no clue about what I'm doing in this regard at this point: so this thread is dedicated to those in the same lifeboat and the effort to reach dry land.

The only advice I'm equipped to give in this thread:

Have somebody with a clue do the recap for you!

< . . . considers admitting that he rarely follows his own advice . . . :-/ >

Be that as it may, here goes:

PLEASE post any applicable links to the pertinent threads which have already been started. I'll edit them into the listing here as a jump off point.
