Editing Commodore 64 Capacitor Replacement Guide (section)

== Recapping Procedure ==
# '''Disassemble :''' remove three rear screws, two under the keyboard, pop keyboard hinges.  
# '''Remove RF shield :''' desolder the six folded-tabs or snip and replace with screws on re-assembly.  
# '''Label keyboard & LED leads.'''  
# Desolder each capacitor with braid + flux.  Commodore used thick, high-temperature solder; '''375 °C''' is usually required.  
# Fit new capacitors, matching '''polarity and lead-spacing''' (5 mm on small cans, 7.5 mm on main filters).  Keep height ≤ 17 mm so the metal shield clears.  
# Clean flux, inspect for bridges.  
# First power-up through a current-limited bench supply or a '''C64 Saver''' inline protector in case the original brick is bad.
