    How do I find the correct capacitors?

    I recently recapped my first computer (Power Mac 6100) and it seemed to go ok. After trying to boot it I get a crackly boot chime and then I hear the crash sound.

    How do I know if the replacement capacitors are suitable? (I am a total newbie and should have done a bit more research obviously)

    Original capacitors labelled:
    Y4 (I believe this is the batch number?)
    47
    16V

    On my other 6100 they are labelled:
    Small rectangle and then "4E"
    47
    16V

    Replacement capacitors: (aluminum polymer solid-electrolyte capacitors)
    Link
    214
    PG
    47
    16

    If these aren't suitable replacements how do I find the correct ones? I would prefer to stick with aluminum polymer solid-electrolyte so they don't leak in the future. The original capacitor labels don't match the current label typs so I'm not sure how to compare

    How to find the Correct GPU BIOS
    by taxxin
    I find myself getting stuck at this stage and is easily the most frustrating part of a repair exercise, after repairing a GPU its hard to tell whether the BIOS is not correct or if the card has a faulty GPU CHIP?

    Is there a way to tell which is the correct bios without having to rely on being able to pull an original BIOS from a card? for example Mining cards with bios flashed?

    Perhaps a way to match up by using a serial number?

    Because Ive had times where Ive flashed a bios for the same brand, model, edition and ram chip brand, but still wont work?...

    How to find the correct Mosfet on a laptop I need to replace
    by MaineFix
    I don't know if this is the correct forum or if I should be posting in another one. I have a broken mosfet that needs to be replaced on a yoga motherboard.
    The mosfet is labeled:
    SM
    3424n
    CX427

    I have found a replacement before searching a combination of these number but this one is giving me issues.
    Am I going about this wrong?

    Advice and any and all tips is greatly appreciated.

    Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
    by proxneo
    Dear reader

    I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

    At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

    3 x 470uF 10VDC
    3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
    4 x 47uF 50VDC
    8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
    1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
    5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

    Which...
