Just to add. I fixed my climate control based on the plentiful prime posts for $5.07 cents, including some new solderwick.
Symptoms were like most. a year ago the degrees numbers went away and it only worked on high. two days ago it stopped working all together no lights no controls. I got some caps and went to work. Most important besides the caps was fixing traces. I had to fix 5 in total using either jumpers or the component leads. The cap goop didn't eat the traces as it turned them to mush so my exacto just melted the traces around the caps. I got tired after two hours so i only fixed all the traces and repaired mostly just the leaked caps. 5 looked in really good shape. Unit worked happy the first time!
parts source in sanjose was hsc electronics, they had a sweet used server I may go back for but that's another story.
Only Problem is I still have two fastening screws left over ..not kidding on that.
