Hi, i am new to electronics and i think i have identified a bad cap on my laptop motherboard (laptop is dead) . it has a bunch of numbers on it but after trawling the net i still cant work out what cap i need .
i have included 2 pics. one is of the suspect bad cap and the other is of the exact same type cap located elsewhere on the mobo.
it is the smd that has the following written on the top:
36

25G
also it measures about 6mm diameter, height about 4-5 mm (not sure if i measure from base of cap or black plastic mount)
any help would be great, thanks!
