    Need help identifying a cap

    Hey all,
    I'm a bit of a newb at this so please bear with me, I need some help identifying a cap i stupidly managed to snap off my motherboard while removing my videocard. The board is a Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6, and its located near a code that reads "cec12"Link im pretty sure it's an smd capacitor but i cant make out all the markings on the top of it.
    so far I have
    three digits?
    10
    10v

    So is this 10 uf 10 volts ?
    does any one know what type of cap i should be looking for to replace it with and where to grab one.
    Thanks.

    it's near the onboard audio chip, so it's probably not going to be stressed much.
    i'd say in this case you won't have problems using a general purpose cap, so anything from your local electronics shop will do. if it doesn't have to be pretty you can use a through hole cap.
    you're right about the 10V 10µ, but you can use a higher voltage rating anyway. just don't go below 6.3V.
    but you won't have trouble finding that specific value.
