oh ok i see but i have to bridge those two points than right?^^ No! Don't do that or you'll short out the 5 volt power and that will do major damage. Just unsolder one lead and carefully bend the cap up and away from the PC board so it's no longer connected. ah you are right both legs are on the sa...
