Hi

Thank you everyone for good hints. I have been busy with other stuff (my hobbies include 80s cars...) so apologies for the delay in response.

I ordered and received Weller tips DX110 and DX112. It seems this did the trick. The tip I was using was far too large. With DX110 I was able to easily desolder few caps.

Anyways given the complexity of this multilayer card and the the fact it still works I decided to skip the recapping for now. I'll focus on other device repairs (my old crt and some car stereos) and cars now.

This vogons.org is awesome!

Oh no, we've unleashed a monster, he'll be patching up Chevy instrument clusters and they'll be back on the roads Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh 🤣 🤣 🤣

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
