Can't comprehend how come nobody has left a comment.

Anyway, good job. But I have to ask why the smd capacitors were replaced with through-hole parts? Were they easier to get than smd bipolar caps?

Thanks hese for your comment

¿You mean on the audio part? I could not get SMT on the local store :/

That's okay. Have you thought about fixing them to the motherboard somehow, by glue perhaps? Through-hole parts are alright but they can yank the pads off easier. The motherboard I recently fixed had through-hole parts that were glued to the motherboard.

I put a little of hot glue between the two caps so they support by itself.
