Baby steps! This is my first time recapping a psu- not 100% certain it wont explode after I get done with it.
If you can do a monitor, you can do this. They're WAY less complicated, way sturdier PCBs, much easier of a job.

Just get the correct caps and be over with it, it is more work to take it out again and start working on it again of you do it in steps 
just make sure you get caps rated to be used in PSU’s.
Not sure what the difference is, but better safe than sorry

The caps for the 12v section are on the way. If they work out, I’ll cap the rest of it and cap my other windy 2.
Anyone with a working Windy II/PB7534 chassis, if you wouldn't mind, could really use a cap list. Seems my buddy's monitor no longer works have he installed a pre-made cap kit on it. Thanks.

What chassis is your Windy II running @8bitforlife?
@acblunden2 rodo666a that's not been modded for side compression. Which might be causing my problems on horizontal.
Nice to see you up and running. That rewrite is a righteous dude for hooking you up!
@radiantsvgun was a huge help also since he has 2 windy2's And could confirm certain things with him and hes become a good friend also.
can anyone take a picture of the wire in the windy2 that connects to the psu then its suppose to connect to the neckboard fan.
When I plug mine in it charges the cab and I get shocks. The fan is not working I'm going to wire a new one in.

Mine doesn't have a neckboard fan or even holes to mount it. Personally I'd leave it off but then it's extremely unlikely to overheat here in the UK.
That's pretty brave. If the design required a fan I'd keep it.
I bought a new fan. I just got it in the mail today and I haven't messed around with it yet. I'll keep you guys posted with what I find.

There seem to be two models of WIndy 2. The first one I have has the fan mounts and a fan on the psu. The second one I have does not have either, nor a spot for it. The psu is different and also does not have a place for a fan.
oh that's interesting. I know about our psu but didnt know yours had no neckboard fan.
