Works great! I just patched it up last night, actually, since I only recently got home from the hospital. I've got a pretty fine-point tip for my iron, and I was able to work the old cap off by alternating sides and gently applying pressure. Then it was a pretty simple matter to slap the new one in place. I popped in some AAs that I knew didn't have a full charge, and Setup told me they had about 1/3 left, so I'm assuming it's working as expected.

Interesting how just that particular cap fails consistently in the 512 KB models. Did HP buy a bad batch or something?

Now if I could just find a copy of DOS 3.22 to load some of the commands/utilities that aren't in ROM (attrib in particular). All I've been able to find are 3.2, 3.21, and 3.3, and the commands from those all whine about incorrect DOS version.
