What components have you got?
The two orange capacitor things, got them replaced. Took the IC into electronics place and they sorted out the bits for me :)

I just have to solder them in, my soldering skills are fine and quite neat too. However, my knowledge of electronic components is lacking.

The capacitors aren't electrolytic so it doesn't matter which way round they go... I can't remember if it matters for the crystal though, does it have any markings to suggest it might (+/-, some markings or one leg shorter than the other)?
