Do you need special tools to replace the caps? Can someone with limited soldering experience fix?

No I purchased cheap solder tool at amazon and I had some difficulty to do it precisely. I just have experience at elementary school. Just one hour but I liked it and just tried in old memory. You should like it because a lot of concentration and patient. Kit has just one size but mine had 15 was broken. I ordered other size at eBay too. See YouTube samples must

Just a soldering gun will do. Just make sure you have your polarity right. The cap will have a line on one side. Make sure you put them in the same way. Good luck

You do need a soldering iron, but I had no experience and was able to replace the caps.

They are pretty easy to replace. You just a soldering gun that won't incinerate the board. I used a low power gun because I wasn't fast enough with a hot one. I got an extra 6 months out of my TV before it crapped out again.

Yes, I did. Just make note, it should look like the one you took out. no end cap nor plastic tape

It requires soldering - it's not a simple remove and replace. There are some YouTube videos out there, but unless you're very comfortable with soldering, suggest you buy a new unit.

Take the screw cap completely off and stretch out the metal piece that the bits fit into. Then it should be ok.

You will have to buy a 1/2 brass threaded cap or a 1/2 copper rough in stub and solder it in.

Pull it apart, solder, put it together (check for breaks in 3.5mm cord...replace accordingly)

I'm not sure what you mean. Do the wires need to be trimmed? When you say wire cap...i guess i am not sure what you are referring to.

I know what your talking about! I haven't tried very hard to fix this.Im thinking along the lines of shimming it with really thin strips of metal,but I haven't tried this myself,Im also considering welding a bit ,then grinding it till it fits. Best of luck!

I don't know if this kit is the one you need but if you e-mail the seller they are extremely helpful. As far as doing the repair just watch the video's and you will be soldering like a pro. Make sure you have a good soldering iron though, makes the job 1,000,000,000% easier. My old iron took forever.

The capacitors do not come attached to the board, you need to identify the ones on the board and un-solder the one on the board and replace it with one from the kit. If you can't solder, them you will need to find someone who can. Good luck.

Hello Rick. I think you don't have problem becuase I installed the caps and I hadn't got any problem. Hope my answer help you. Best regards, Germán

The end caps didn't fit at first. I used an exacto knife on them, cleaned them up and used a dumbbell to hammer them on.

It happened to me when I first assembled them because I forgot to remove the black caps, see assembling instruction Ax1. After that, they work perfect. Good luck!

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

glue them on or drill tiny hole in each end cap & into handle. then use correct size screw to fasten them on. that way you can always remove them later on if needed.

I gently dry the tip with a paper towel and replace the black cap. If it will be longer than a couple of weeks, go ahead and take the batteries out.
