Editing Osborne 1 Capacitor Replacement Guide (section)

== Extra Tips ==

* '''Replace all electrolytics at once''' – Piecemeal replacement is not recommended due to similar age and stress.
* '''Check for PCB damage''' – Leaked electrolyte can corrode traces; repair as needed before fitting new parts.
* '''Use quality brands''' – Cheap capacitors may fail prematurely; always use reputable manufacturers.
* '''Keep capacitor height low''' – Some areas have tight clearance due to the CRT and case.
* '''Inspect connectors and wiring''' – Ageing insulation and oxidised connectors can also cause instability.
* '''CRT safety''' – The Osborne 1’s CRT carries high voltage; avoid the anode cap and discharge if necessary.
* '''Fuse check''' – Replace any blown fuses with the correct type and rating.
