Did a 100% rewrite on the whole guide. New Clearer Pics, New motherboard cut, Everything should just be much better now. Enjoy.
Re: The definitive GC motherboard trimming guide
Great job!
Of all the caps you mentioned, I only ever needed the smaller of the 2 audio amp capacitors.
All the other caps I removed from the board and it worked fine. Now, do any of those caps make the composite image quality better???

Re: The definitive GC motherboard trimming guide
Yea, You can remove all of them with some of the cuts and the board will still work. It will put undue stress on components like the A/V chip or preamp if you don't relocate them though, which can cause them to die a quick painful death.
None of them will make the picture/audio "better", but the filtering caps I've labeled will reduce "noise" on the audio and video lines.
