where can i get this capacitor ?

hi everyone

im trying to fix xbox 360 but under the board from gpu is on top but bottom of the board the picture is not mine i copied it.
they look like this.



that capacitor is microcapacitor very small capacitor
where can i get from the store ? i live in quebec canada
can you help ?
thank you
please explain simple
because i am deaf not very understanding english thx.

Re: where can i get this capacitor ?

Those are surface mounted capacitors, which come in standard sizes. The names for those sizes are 0805 , 0603 , 0402 and so on ... the ones on the xbox are probably 0402 or 0603.

The names are derived from the length and width of the capacitor, you can measure the capacitors you have already on the board and can determine the standard size based on that.

Those capacitors should be about 0.01uF, 0.1uF, 0.047 uF... most likely the first value but you would have to measure the capacitors around just to be sure.

Digikey has these capacitors, Mouser has them, RS-Components have them ... Digikey and Mouser should be the the better choices for you.

See Digikey: http://www.digikey.com/product-searc...acitors/131083

From temperature coefficient, you should only choose COG/NPO , X7R, X5R ... the others aren't suitable.
From voltage, you should choose at least 16v, but ideally 35v-100v
Then choose the capacitance and sort by sizes (width, length etc)

Those ceramic caps are for decoupling Vcc noise on GPU. If you have 1 or 2 broken, it's nothing critical. I've sen "techs" knock them out a million times. Never seen it affect operation unless the cap shorts Vcc to ground - in which case you will likely get a power-related or no GPU secondary code.

If your Xbox 360 is not working, it is HIGHLY likely something else is the cause.
