FunHouse
Williams, 1990Hi, I have my driver board out of Funhouse to replace a broken BR4 (F111 is blowing).
Looking at the back of the board, it seems burnt under the heatsink attached to the transister cap. Would it be a good idea to unsolder the cap, replace the mica? insulator and add new heatsink compound? Or just leave well enough alone?

It's not a transistor... it is a 3amp +5 volt regulator. I would fix all the cold solder joints...
I would fix the tantalum capacitor and put it in the correct spot [cut and jump].
Then test...
