Be careful if you do repairs,

Post by Revo2Maxx »

:oops: In the picture below had to repair one of my 4mp zoom Ai cameras. Seeing the transformer was between 2 connectors and sensor for camera is almost directly on other side I had to use soldering iron to remove it, in dragging the solder on pins it caught a very small cap. This is smaller then the pads for the transformer. So needed to use 10x micro scope to see it well enough to get it back where it went. Again had to use micro soldering iron because hot air would damage things. So much fun.

By the way it's same size as the cap next to pin 1 of the Transformer. Zooming in to see might be easier then seeing the tilted cap itself.

Pin 1 if don't know is above u10 silkscreen marking.
Be Safe.
