330uf, 14volts.

Is it the little silver one?

Thanks. These chip capacitors are so small i don't see how I can work
under
it with my soldering iron. I am going to try the liquid solder (doesn't
sound right does it?). Thanks again,

I'll bite...

Sometimes the numbers are totally meaningless but they might have
useful information. In general a few different numbering codes are
used such as colour bands and digit codes, however with the advent of
surface mount technology little room is now left to even put any
markings that may be of help. Basically this tells us that SMD are not
really meant to be replacable as it takes great effort and skill to do
well.

So with all this in consideration my guess is you have a 330pF cap
since only the number 330 makes any sense to me. Try gently tack
soldering a 330pF cap (with legs) and see if your board works then?
If it doesn't, well... at least you tried, good luck!

Sh Come on, I know somebody in here has to know something about chip
Sh capacitors and how to read them. I researched a lot online, but I
Sh still can't come up with meaning for some of the numbers.

Sh Please help!

Hello everyone,

I am not an electronics expert and have no prior knowledge of the
type
of
issue I am researching. I have a chip capacitor that has broken off
of
my
laptop computers mainboard. I know this is a chip capacitor only
because
I
compared it to some pics of chip capacitors on electronix.com. They
sell
a
number of chip capacitors, but I am not familiar enough with the
jargon
to
know if I am ordering the right one. My chip capacitors has the
following
listed on top of it, otherwise, it looks exactly like those on
electronix.com.

1 4
330
6A

Could anyone tell me which one I should order from electronix.com or
where
I
could get a compliant one to have soldered back in place on my
laptops
mainboard.

Thanks in advance,

Corey

P.S. Please reply to the group!

... I worked hard to attach the electrodes to it.
