    But the good news is that you soldered it in backwards correctly! If you do it wrong, do it wrong with skill and panache!




    not making fun you - I don't have the skills to solder in a capacitor, correctly or incorrectly

    I have checked + - side, I put them to the right, but I think I damage the holes .......... I shall sort them out

    ps: I could detect capacitor got 0.2V once, after that 0V, thank you for your kind answering me, I think I know what was wrong ............... :D

    Well experience gained. When you desoldiered it you might've gotten the points too hot. You gotta be careful with that when working with electronics.
