    How to identify proper replacements

    I have a motherboard with what I assume are bad ceramic caps (the little square guys).. I will have to take them out of circuit to be sure, but I do not know how to tell what to replace them with.

    There is nothing written on the cap like the regular capacitors so do I just go by size?

    I have a hotair rework / soldering station.. but any tips to removing the little guys and re-soldering one back onto the board???

    Really appreciate any help here!

    Thanks!!

          Hi everybody.
          I'm trying to fix this toothbrush that doesn't wanna start. And I need your help.

          Just to inform you that I'm supperbeginner

          First photos are from internet because I did not took a photo of whole board.

          I have noticed that fuse marked with "E" near the battery pole is bad and decided to short it with a "proper calibrated wire" as one would say.
          Now, when I apply 1V from the power supply, limited to 500mA, one of the component stick out from the rosin mist. CHC N2AB (or some variation of that letters) is the hottest...

          Lenovo Legion 7 - Help Identify IC
          by silver60618
          Hi gang, its a long shot, but working on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 motherboard NM-F091, and trying to identify this component near GPU with marking "eHFQH" that is burned and shorting the board. Looks like power management IC

          I couldnt find any schematic or boardview. The CPU side also has same chip. Any way to identify this chip? or take measurements from the good chip to determine what it is?

          Any help would be appreciated...

          by chth96
          I mistakely pluged 100v japanese retro game console to 220v outlet.
          So It seems that glass fuse and varistor have been blew up.
          I can identify that voltage and ampere value of glass fuse(250V LF 1.6A),but It is impossible to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU(YAMAHA 35M07U XR258)
          Is there any way to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU?
          Any reply would be appreciated.


          EDIT:
          It seems that I finally found out what type this black varistor is. It is Panasonic ERZV05D221 “ZNR” Transient/Surge Absorbers (Type D) Varistor Voltage...
