Default Virus B bought new 20 years ago - advice on repair

Hi

My name is Tim and I bought a Virus B around 20 years ago.
I have used it a lot up until 8 years ago when my son was born and it was not turned on for that period of time.

As i now have a bit more spare time on my hands i decided to get it out and plug it in. Only to discover that when i did power it up both LFO light stay on and the display flickers..

I though might be a dodgy power supply, so bought a new one off access virus official shop . Any how, i got the same issue with the new supply and therefore ruled that out as the problem..

Next I replaced the battery on the motherboard with a new one, still the same issue.

I found an article that suggested it could be the brown capacitor on the motherboard that needs replacing as they had the same symptoms and this seemed to resolve it for them.

however, not being an expert solderer, im a bit stumped on how to de-solder the existing one - do i have to do it from underneath on the bottom of the board..

I attach a pic of the inside of my unit

Any help much appreciated

Regards

Tim
