Post Body

A few weeks ago I posted about a switch that wouldn't turn on or take a charge. I got comments which really helped me figure out what was wrong.

1uF 10V 0805 MLCC Capacitor was shorted.

I tried to replace it but it didn't occur to me that :

1- I didn't have nearly enough experience to try that repair

2- I didn't have the right equipment either

The result is that I have :

1- bridged the 2 capacitors on the left

2- ripped a solder pad out

3- lost the capacitor above the one I was trying to replace

4- melted the latch of the connector on the right until it fell off.

The butchered remains

I think I will keep trying to fix simpler things from now on. Any suggestions ?
