removing and replacing capacitors

does anyone know how to do this properly, i need to:
1. Remove capacitor C130 from the motherboard. This was suggested by a Soyo tech months ago to some one else I was in contact with on this subject matter. This is a small surface mounted part and requires some soldering skills to remove successfully.
2. Added a cap to the empty location at ELC28 (1500mfd-10 volt 105 degree C. This change alone made my board more stable with different makes of ram.
on an old soyo mobo i got from martini to possibly get it to work

If this is a surface mount cap surrounded by other components... good luck. I hope your soldering skills are good

using a desoldering wick will help greatly with removing that component, otherwise you could potentially just rip it off IF there are no traces attached to it that are vital. As for soldering the new component, as mentioned above if it's in an area packed with surface mount components, I hope you've got a steady hand.

mmmm why not recap an entire board with top of the line higher capacity caps and see what kind of results you get Dragon_Cooler? =) Just curious as I have read about it somewhere before of someone doing just that.

that would definatly make the boad not work anymore. they chose the capacitence and voltage they use for a reason
