[Elecraft] oops -- repairing K3's KIO main board

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

Yes those look to be caps, Hopefully you have it repaired :)
BTW, for a long time I was hesitant to do surface mount but now I findit quite easy a strong light and a Magnifier visor make it a lot easier.
A good set of fine point tweezers and a fine tip are about all that I use.

Congratulations you can now say you have done surface mount repair ;)

Any photos of it so we can identify the part?


I can take a photo of my own K3 later tonight -- but here's a picture of the KIO3 board from the K3 construction manual.  See the 4 nubs going horizontally along the top?  :-)  I broke off the leftmost one.
