Amiga Recapping Service

Our Engineer has 30 Years Soldering Experience, 150+ Amiga's Recapped in the Past 8 Years!

What is recapping?

As your Amiga ages the capacitors are be prone to capacitor leaking over time, remember these are 30+ years old so it’s a good preventative measure to replace the capacitors as once they leak they can eat through the copper circuitry and cause either permanent damage or an expensive repair job. Contact-us for information.

'Recapping' is the precision job of replacing the capacitors, which are often not the best quality on some Amigas. Not only can they affect the use of the computer, but if left unchecked, the leaking capacitors can damage the circuit board possibly causing serious issues.

We offer a professional recapping service for most Amigas, with all parts held in stock.

We’ll fully test your machine first to make sure there are no hidden faults that aren’t attributable to the capacitors. We’ll fit only premium brand electrolytic capacitors like Panasonic and Wurth, these will be the same specification as the Commodore factory used – just a much higher quality, and brand new!

We’ll always advise you if there are other undiagnosed faults we find that need attention – we won't simply recap and return.

All capacitor or repair work carries a 90 day warranty.

This is not a 'repair' service and as such if a repair is needed, We’ll always discuss this with you before commencing any extra work.

Please note: This is not a repair service... Your Amiga should be in working order and not had any previous attempt of re-capping done. Should you send in a non working or faulty motherboard, we'll discuss with you options for repair and/or the return of your motherboard (£12 handling fee may apply).
