    Macbook Bad capacitor

    Hello, I have a problem with my MacBook Pro. It doesn't work anymore. I opened it and found that a capacitor was defective. Now the problem is that I can't find it anywhere on the internet. It is a Neo capacitor called "NEX CN7". Where can I buy such a capacitor? I hope someone can help me. Many greetings Stiffi 🙂 A ab22

    Best guess from the limited shared info. Need the model of the macbook; the location of the capacitor; a clear pic of the area where the capacitor used to live.

          B3 means the cap physical size is 3528 but height is 1.1mm. Check if there is a height restriction on this cap on the logic board. If not, you can use size B tantalum caps here.

          like this one (3528 but taller part):

            Apple MacBook Pro Mid-2017 A1706 - C7490 Capacitor Help
            by afarr
            Hi all, this is my first post, I offered to check out a friends MacBook Pro, A1706 which doesn't power on, before this happened they smelt something burning inside, and Apple refused to help with out being out of warranty.

            Among investigating a capacitor on the logic board spilt and scorched surrounding area please refer to images; https://imgur.com/a/AmSwFr3

            I found a schematic (x362 MLB Schematic) for the logic board on a thread from this site, I'm unsure about the right terminology when describing so please forgive me.

            MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
            by envym
            Hi everyone!

            I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

            I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

            RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
            by Prolog
            Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

            I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

            I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
            (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

            I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

            Macbook Pro DFU Restore Issues
            by Flasman90
            I have a 2020 Macbook Pro A2289 and after many attempts managed to get it into DFU mode, using my older 2017 A1706 Macbook Pro (Running Ventura 13.7.8). However, when attempting 'Restore', it fails at step 4 of 4, showing the following error:

            - "The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg (Generic error)) [AMRestoreErrorDomain – 0xA (10)]
            - "The system cannot be restored on this device. Failed to create new state machine for restore [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFB1 (4017)]
