Need help/suggestions for a dell recap

[paradox1156]

I have a dell inspiron 1150 that needs a recap. The cap fell off the motherboard, I unsucessfully tried to solder it back on with my basic and obviously inadequate soldering skills. I was wondering if anyone could properly identify the capacitor that I would need to replace it with and how to solder these chip type capacitors on properly (tools, procedures, . From what I have gathered at this site and others I believe the type is a surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

Attached are the pictures, for those who can't make out the text on them it says

4 8
220
2 5A

and then on the bottom there is and S and 78.

Thanks

I hate surface mounted stuff.

I know its 220uf, and I bet 48v

edit: hm ya know I bet thats 4.8v

Looks like it might be a Sanyo CE-AX.
Markings match it going by the datasheet, and it looks like a Sanyo vent.
Assuming this is correct, then
"A" is the series code for CE-AX, and the "25" is 25v.
"220" is the capacitance (220uF).

Re: Need help/suggestions for a dell recap

do you know any places to obtain these sanyo caps? I'm looking online without much success, I've determined that it's either a Sanyo 25CE220AXA or a Sanyo 25CE220AX depending on the size but I can't find a place where I can buy them without waiting 5 weeks or ordering a massive quantity.

Or could I go with another brand with the same specs such as this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/8-Nippon-ChemiCo...742.m153.l1262

Height is kind of an issue though due to it being in a laptop.

Re: Need help/suggestions for a dell recap

I also found this but still I'm not sure which one to get due to the measurements heights and width-wise.
