Actually I'm still in Japan. I came across a white PCE in a junk pile, and here I am.

I have one more cap replacement question. There are two caps on this board that seem impossible to get to from underneath even though they were originally soldered from underneath(circled in red). Would I be safe soldering new ones in from above?

To do those two you need to bend up the BA chip on the bottom and temporariliy remove that pad under it.  Then you can access the solder points of those caps.

Huh really? Is it okay to bend that up a little?

Okay, I got it. Bent up just a bit to get the soldering iron tip under there. Thanks for the advice. I have replaced many caps on these before. Just not all of them at once for preemptive maintenance. Usually I just change the bad ones and call it at that.

I should have added "carefully" to that!  I have replacement BA chips if you manage to break one somehow

I just replace those ones from the top, bending up the BA chip isnt necessary.

One more capacitor question. Unfortunately some of the capacitors I ordered in showed up with NP on it and no - or + markings. Is a non-polarized capacitor bad to use?

I thought there were specific applications for non polar caps so I want to say don't use them in plavmce of polarized caps.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The ones that came this way were for the few 4.7UF caps on the board. I do have some spare 35V ones. Would that be way too high or should I just get 16V as recommended.

You can always use higher voltage, they're just usually larger and can cause clearance issues in some applications.

np (non polarized) caps are always safe as replacements for standard.
just never the other way round
