I used my 6" engineers ruler for a heatsink under the board and stuffed in a piece of paper towel to make a temporary cradle for the capacitor. The camera had been worked on before, someone almost overheated the circuit board. The stainless ruler stopped that from happening again.

The X9 was the last of the Minolta manual focus bodies, it probably used lead free solder. Lead free solder has a higher melting point, you really have to be careful.

It ain't lead free now, take that, Ralph Nader!
