Video Not Working? Fix It Now

In this video I start to work on the Commodore Amiga A1200 that I bought from eBay. I'm going to disassemble it and start replacing capacitors. I'm going to go pretty slow so you can see most of the detail of what I'm doing (in case you want to try this yourself), and that means in this video (to keep it short), I'll only get through replacing 4 of the capacitors on the board.
