I'm not sure which 3-digit number represents the value, but I hope this
helps a bit.
For example, if the first number, 100, is the value:
Look it up on the first link I included, and it turns out to be 10pf, 2%.
IF the first number is the value.

Hello all, I am trying to replace this damaged component (
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/...5251b53_m.jpg). I'm
pretty sure it's a surface mount capacitor but I can't figure out
what
it's values are or where to get a replacement (digikey?). Can I just
replace it with a standard radio-shack cap of the same capacitance?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

I did find that, but as you said, don't know which one is the value. I
remember once seeing a website that could decode these but I can't
find it.

Since its obviously a SMD electrolytic, the value suggested elsewhere of 2pF
is monumentally silly!

Its hard to judge the size with no other reference so if it was the 108 at
the bottom indicating a one a zero followed by a multiplier of 8 zero's that
could be 1000uF, but it doesn't look that big so I'd go with the top number
"100" as 100uF and 16V.
