I deserve that - I could have worded it better. I have no issue with your method, in fact I would do the same on all my clients laptops and GPUs, including wicking and cleaning up carbon residue. But I stand by what I said - when it's in this condition, simply twisting with a plier is less...

Only saw this now. Give the label for that capacitor or show a pic of the area. We can't take it for granted that it's also on the main power rail. In fact, clear pics of the whole board (both sides) may help
