Commodore Amiga A1200 HD restoration and recapping 

Congrats on the 3K subscribers !!. The channel rocks :-)

I really must learn to recap one of these days.

Use two soldering irons to remove the caps you twisted.

Hi, nice video and recapping. In one of my videos I also recap my A1200. To prevent future leaking, I used polymer and hybrid caps. And please, to every one here: don't cut the old caps. You can damage your pads.

Thank you for your video and knowledge. Having rediscovered 7 (yes, 7) Atari ST1040s and i Commodore A1200 from my loft, I will attempt to restore them all over the coming weeks. Your experience has given me confidence to make them good again.

Maybe the shielding from underneath the keyboard should be removed to examine if the liquid stains found on the underside of the case took its way from there. Just to be certain now after months of the first "intervention".

Nice work Tommy. This makes me regret selling my A1200 years ago. :(

Cut the smd caps.... the easy and safe way. :)

Nice restoration :) My guess is also the CIA chip. To bad they are not easy to switch around like other Amiga's.

There are some SMD desoldering tweezers out there, some of them cheap too. Are they of any use ? About your FDD, could it be the "wait state" Escom model problem like in this video ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G6fYOjTYvXM.html
