Help. Capacitor came off PCB inside Mark IV!

[JPIndustrie]

The top cover of my Mark IV rackmount wasn't securely fastened (stupid me) and managed to knock off a capacitor on the actual PCB in the chassis of the Amp.

I'm not sure what having a PCB board means in this situation, but please don't tell me my amp is done for? Can a technician solder that back on?

P.S. - anyone know a good amp tech in NYC?

Thanks!

It should be a fairly easy fix, but I wouldn't even plug it in until it is fixed!
I don't know of any good techs in NY, but I'm sure someone here does.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess I'm thinking of PC's and motherboards and how if I were to pull a capacitor off that, that would be considered 'done'. lol

Yeah, I def made sure not to plug it in or anything.

These amps are built really well. Pretty much takes an army tank to destroy them.

Stokes is in NYC and he knows his Boogie's.

Stokes is really smart!

probably best not to touch the capacitor also.

Thanks for the reply.

Is the board itself damaged? If not you could just solder it back on, no problem. If the leads on the cap are damaged it's a simple matter of ordering one of the same value and soldering it in there.

I should have added, don't mess with it unless you know how to discharge the power supply before you start. don't get zapped. and by zapped I mean killed.
