I decided to make a start on the recapping today.  Haven't got far yet, as you will see...
		
		
	
	 
I just got a new solder sucker (top of picture), as I thought I would have to unfortunately remove the keyboard connector (the white plastic strip at the top of the board) to gain access to the capacitor between it and the port behind.  I thought with the new sucker, I should have a better chance of removing the port...
Unfortunately it wasn't so easy (my lack of knowledge / skill let me down), and I failed to remove the solder from a couple of the pins (I guess they were ground pins - actually it was mainly one, on the right, that I had problems with).  I don't think I did badly, although I became more concerned that I was starting to damage the pads of the troublesome few..
 
So, I looked at the keyboard connector again, and realised that part of the plastic could be removed, giving me a few more precious millimeters of access. Just enough...

Although not quite enough, as I lost concentration, and melted one of the audio ports a little...
 
Slightly disappointed, but it's all part of the learning process.
 
I don't think it looks too bad though, so far.
 
However, when I started poking at the capacitor, I didn't actually think that I was going to remove it.  It just started pulling away as I was poking at it. And stupidly, I forgot to note down the polarity before removing it - I believe the black stripe (negative) was pointing to the back of the board, towards the ports.  Could anyone confirm this, or where might be a good place to check?
