I just recapped a Performa 560 motherboard and put it in my Color Classic chassis. I had noticed coloration issues with the screen (it kept changing tone and I had to keep adjusting it). And I'd noticed some "column" issues - where it looked/looks like it's bending inward slightly toward the middle left. Now I see flickering horizontal lines with slightly different tones of gray (against the background). I can post a pic if this was a garbage description. Could it be a 'cold solder joint?' (I looked through colourclassicfaq but that might be the closest I found).
I will note also this is a totally inconsistent symptom. I basically would like to confirm more than anything else whether any symptoms resembling what I've described can be attributable to caps, because that'd be by far the easiest problem to fix. As I install a new OS, it randomly changed from normal to more violet tone when I inserted the disk then went back to normal...
[As an addendum, I would be very grateful to uniserver if you posted a 550/560 board on Maccaps; that page of boards is a fantastic service, though our wiki should steal it with attribution. I can take a picture if you'd like. I pulled all the caps off and washed the board only to realize there was no template pic lol. But it was fairly easy to figure out. The 6V 100uF (I think) caps go right above the PDS slot; the small one goes in the middle and there are 5 16V 47uF (I think).]
