SNS-SHVC-CPU_01 Capacitor Replacement

This section is not a tutorial, but a general overview of recapping your SNES hardware. Do not proceed forward unless you possess the skills and knowledge to perform this task. The capacitors that are presently being shipped are through-hole, making installation more forgiving for novice installers. Also, it's appropriate to have extra capacitors left over from the kit once you've finished the installation. You can either discard or save any left-over capacitors.
