Well, it looks like reparing this charger/interface board is beyond me. I
have now replaced all the capacitors, both 'lytic and not, and the MAX 232.
I'have even been able to get an original Max232CPE. But the board doesn't
work still. I get a different set of voltage readings, though. I now have
about half the voltages required on the pins of the Max232 (i.e about +6V on
pin 2 and about -5V on pin 6). This leads me to think that there is
something wrong to the new capacitors, or perhaps the Max232 is defective.
But I won't go through the process of de-soldering and resoldering new
parts, I may be causing more damages than anything else.

Unless enlightenment strikes overnight, I will send the board back to
Patrick Hui in Hong Kong and leave the job to a professional...
