Chip Capacitor & Notebook Motherboard
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! |

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

it with my soldering iron. I am going to try the liquid solder (doesn't sound right does it?). Thanks again, Corey "Asimov" wrote in message ...

Thanks again, Liquid solder is nonconductive and isn't solder. Don't use it. You will need a small pointed soldering iron to solder the part. Also note that chip capacitors are subject to thermal shock with a soldering iron. You'll probably have to take the risk anyway but in a commercial replacement environment, a preheat (hot air pencil) is usually used to bring the part gradually to temperature without fracturing it. b. |

Yep, little silver one. Looks like a tin can. I was guessing 14v, but I
was kinda confused by the space between the 1 and the 4. And the 6A. Any more information would be excellent! Thanks! Also, does anyone know where I would order one of these, specifically? I have looked at various sites, but I am typically confused by their own interpretations or descriptions of what they are selling. Again, sorry, but I am way out of my league here so I can get confused easily! Thanks again, Corey "Mike" wrote in message ... 330uf, 14volts. Is it the little silver one?

they are both 330uf. so, in other words they are the same. just chip

Ok, I think I am following ya. Basically, if I can't find a 330uF chip cap
I can just solder in a regular one? What about voltage, I have different people telling me what voltage they think the chip cap is. For instance, you said 14 and the other guy said 6.3. Could I be safe and just put a capacitor on there that is 14 or if it is 6.3 volts must I get one that is exactly that voltage?

get one thats rated 16V. it doesnt matter if its 6.3 or 14. as long as the
voltage applied to that circuit its less than teh rated cap. so if the cap is 6.3 volts, chances are its a 5V circuit. so, just get a 16V and your fine. "Shock" wrote in message ...
