Hi all
I am a newbie trying to learn some electronics/soldering by myself, and I bumped into a wall that maybe someone a bit more expert than me can help me to climb:
for some reasons that would be too long to explain, I need to solder some caps on the following pcb
as you can see on the area marked in blue there are several spots where there should be the same caps that are in the yellow area, and I want to solder them, now I removed one of the caps on the right, and it measured about 0.26uf, the size is about 1mm long, maybe a bit less, what do I have to look for to find some of these caps? I mean, I don’t understand which are the standard values for this thing, I tried to recover some caps which have the exact same size from other boards, but they all measure between 90 and 120nf, maybe I can use them instead? My understanding is that those caps are working as filters along some pci-express data lines, so maybe the exact value is not so important?
Thanks
