Can I use 3pf capacitor instead of 1.8pf?

10-26-2025, 05:17 AM

Hi,

I have MacBook Pro 14" M2 and I have CW119 1,8pf 25v fried capacitor. I dont have 14" donor board, only 13" ones... could I replace it with 3pf 25v? 🤔🫣

Macbook Bad capacitor

by Stiffi

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

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...
