Did a 100% rewrite on the whole guide. New Clearer Pics, New motherboard cut, Everything should just be much better now. Enjoy.

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???

[Ashen]

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.
