C135 and C136 are both silked with the positive end on the same side... the schematics indicate the positive and is on the same side...

... can anyone tell me why I have a cap with the positive and on the "right" side on C136 but the cap at C135 is in reverse against the silk and schematic?! It also appears to be an original part (no indication it was ever changed)...

Huh???

Should I replace it the same direction or the direction it's silked / indicated in the schematics??!
 
Welp... I replaced the cap in the proper direction (not the direction that it came out) and.... nothing. Same ole same ole... no change...

Not sure why/how the reversed cap didn't blow...

I dunno.

I've re-capped the ARIII... and I've re-capped the mainboard... but I am still getting a strange audio squeal... it's not bad and it goes away after a bit... but it's still there.

I've also pulled and re-seated all socketed chips.
