Capacitors

[NESTIAM]

I have a Dell 8400 bought in about 2004 with Nichicon capacitors HN(M).
There are 6 of these that show bulges and one with a light brown substance
appearing on top. I would like to try and replace these however they do not
match up to any of the instock Rubycon or Samxon capacitors.

Mine are as follows:

2200uf 6.3V Height 16 mm Diameter 10mm
1000uf 10V Height 14 mm Diameter 10mm

I measured these from the motherboard to the top of the cases. Is this
the proper way to determine height?

Is the height and diameter stamped on the case any place?

Do the above measurements seem like legitament sizes?

Thanks

Those should work just fine. 10mm sounds right

Re: Capacitors

It is best to use the same size around that is in there because the leads and the way it fits will usually be the same doing it that way, but the height is not usually a problem. As long as the uf size and volts match up and fit, then if the replacement is bigger or smaller in height, then that is fine, just as long as it does not hit anything.
