Hi all,
Came into possession of a mint (cosmetically) Classic II.
Tried to turn on, combo of vertical lines, garbage, sometimes just a squished horizontal grey screen. Opened 'er up, and sure enough. Bad leaky caps.
Removed all of them, have an order in with Digikey. There's 3 that had at least one of the pads trashed due to the bad cap, but I can see where it ran to, so I can connect with wire. But I've got one that I can't figure out. Pics attached.
Anyone with a Classic II know some alternate points I can solder to? I thought maybe if I followed the via's the bottom, I could just attach it there.. but they don't seem to go anywhere?
