Indeed. You need more than just slight experience to avoid ripping the
tracks to hell. Far less hassle to just get a new board, and not all that

Yes, but it's still not as hard as one might think - it just needs a
stable hand and and careful working.

If they are thru-hole they are no different than the 'normal' circuit
board you mention.

Mmm, yeah, thinking about it, either the legs go all the way through and
solder on the reverse side, or they solder onto the top surface. Either
way, should be doable in principle...

550W Power Supplies are common these days, don't they? unless is not the
case in your city.

The first one.

is easy, trust me, if the capacitors are normal sized, not the
millimetric ones.

They are normal sized. maybe I should get a soldering iron...

The powersocket on my motherboard only has 20 pins. The new ones have 24
pins so I'll have to see if I can get a 20pin powersupply.
From everything I've gathered here it seems it was the power supply that
damaged my motherboard. So I'm going to try and get a new power supply with
lots of Watts and see if I can replace those capacitors.
Thanx to everyone who threw in their bit.
