Hello BadCaps Forum! I'm new to the group and hope you guys can help me with something. I have a 2017 Apple imac A1419 board # 820-00609-A that i'm trying to identify a capacitor failure on. The capacitor is a tantalum 68 C79. See pic attached. I've tried to figure this out using the web and unfortunately can't find the information. Can someone tell me what the Capacitance value, voltage, etc is for these 68 C79 caps are? Where could i pick up a replacement? Thanks in advance!!

It looks like a Panasonic hybrid tantalum-polymer POSCAP 68uF 16V (code "C"). TQC series (size D) 16TQC68MYF
The TDC series does not seem to have 68uF offering. Whatever you source, watch the height. -
what a great product name.
marketting department must have got a bonus for that one!

please refer to the attached pics. is it safe to apply power with that tantalum cap like that without causing fireworks? i dont wanna burn a hole through the pcb as the gpu chip is on the other side.
happened to me once before with a shorted mlcc. shorted mlcc on a vrm power phase burned a hole through the pcb power section but thankfully that was nowhere near the gpu chip. but the video card still ended up in the landfill anyway tho as the burn-through was not fixable.
so do let me know what u think of the chipped tantalum there. thanks.... -
Good morning, I would appreciate help identifying resistors responsible probably for volume down / volume up buttons that I accidently knocked off while replacing fan connector. I enclose picture with location. Thank you for help in advance.07-19-2025, 01:49 AM -
I need help identifying this IC and, if possible, the value of the capacitors next to it. It is part of the HDMI circuit of an EVGA RTX 2060 GPU. It suffered a short circuit, leaving the graphics card without video and the TV without image....06-06-2025, 07:48 PM -
Subject: Help Identifying IC on 820-02020 (MacBook Pro A2338 M1, 2020) — C02045500 / EKQ8LL1A
Hi all,
I'm working on a MacBook Pro A2338 M1 (2020) with logic board 820-02020.
The machine has a power issue — not powering on, and I'm trying to trace the fault.
While inspecting the board, I found a cluster of components
This area looks damaged or burned — there are about 4–5 components that seem affected
I've attached a close-up photo of the chip and its surrounding area (see... -
Hi everyone
I have a 70mai Dash Cam A510 which failed after about 3 months of being installed in my car, likely due to heat, i got it from aliexpress so no point in trying to return it for warranty (and shipping it back would cost me almost the same as a new one from ali)
The camera would boot loop showing 70mai logo on the screen, sometimes it would boot fine then the live view would freeze or display purple lines
I already took it apart, and found out that the camera boots fine if i unplug the camera module from the main PCB, sometimes "playing" with the connector...
