Hi,
I have a simple question to ask: I want to replace the old big cylinder capacitors on a wpc89 driver board. The ones I have received from Marco are narrower and higher, at least they have the same features. I would like to know if the capacitor can rest on the board or if there must be a distance between the board and the bottom of the capacitor.
Thanks for your help
Thanks everyone for your contribution. I take note of the suggestions for a more specific situation. In this case, I had my machine resetting when pushing the 2 flipper buttons at the same time.
Experiences shared on the forum and litterature recommend to change the BRs and caps, which I did (kit from Marco). I let the caps rest on the board and soldered as every other component. The hole which seems to be damaged is in fact a remainder of solder which I have removed since.
Now I get 5,1vdc on the MPU connector and the game does no longer reset.
Thanks again for your time
