Greetings, forgive me in advance for this is my first post here.
I'm hoping I can return the favour many times over, so with that, thank you in advance!
I have a board here that (according to someone else's description) "had a quick 'zzzt' sound, and then smelt bad." Sounds like the magic genie smoke has left the cap to me!
DellBoardwPop'edCaps.jpg is the board that I have, I can't even see what was there.. It almost looks like a grounding pad on the left side.. For the life of me, I can't find the component that the traces go to (or the rating of the caps for that matter, which is the goal) in the schematic. Which is provided as "Compal LA-9983P, LA-9984P VAW10, VAW11 REV 1.0 - Dell Inspiron 17 (3737).pdf" and in the second picture, "DellBoardwCaps.jpg" is a picture of the board from an Ebay listing. To me, the beige colour indicates that they're caps.
Anyone have any ideas? Again, TIA.
