I'm a lost newbie

[johnnycam]

I.B.M 300GL mainboard...has "Chris" 25v/560uf@ 105deg. Scanning the forums,Ive noticed a few mods of the caps requirements. Since I'm having a nightmare trying to find this value , what other values can I substitute for?
I went to the suggested sites , without much luck...found 1 in Canada,but will only ship within Canada.
Here's every number on the cap....WG (M) 560uf 25v 105 9921
Row of three...would like to replace the whole set, unless the advice here is not to....thanks in advance ! , john

It's Chhsi, not Chris. (: And WG is a Jamicon series, Jamicon are iffy. You can replace with 16V 1000uF or 16V 470uF.

Measure the voltage on these caps before decreasing the voltage of the caps just to be on the safe side. Most likely there's no more than 5 volts present on them. A 1000uF cap will be just fine in its place. If you want something a little closer to the original value, 680uF would be the next step up. As mentioned above, 470uF would also be just fine.
