Actually it looks like I'm just going to be replacing those.

My hands are just too shaky and I'll be lucky to finish even them.

e:

c10    :    16v     2200uF
c13    :    6.3v    2200uF
c16    :    6.3v    2200uF
c21    :    10v    3300uF

Wonder if that's what's going on with my QS '02.  I also have a 1.8GHz G4 upgrade in it, all was well with the original 933MHz CPU but mine shuts off in OS9 rather than OSX, and only at certain times - in Quake III...for example.  I start a game and boom, powers down instantly.  Guess I will be checking my PSU caps.  Keep us posted with your results.

Will do.

Had to defer to my dad on the soldering so it'll be a few days before I get it back.

While I managed to get the caps soldered in the joints were messy and my hands are just too unstable to fix it.

I figured it was best to quit while I was ahead and before I ended up doing some damage somewhere.

At least it gives me time to get the rest of the case cleaned up.

So far so good...

I ran gzip -9 on /dev/random for like 5 minutes and it didn't shut itself off so now I'm confident enough to start putting it back together.
