Okay. I have two Packard Bell Statesman 486 laptops, both made in 1995. Both have toast power boards, both with caps that are leaking electrolyte on their PCBs. One completely died under power, and reeks of dead fish when given power, the other smells less and runs the notebook, but audibly buzzes and is caked in electrolyte. Swapping the "working" board brings the other machine up.
This is my first attempt recapping anything. My issue is I don't know what caps to buy. Only one lists the series. The others are: ce04w mr(e) 105c n366 with italic N 16v 330uf, n333 100uf 6.3v and h346 100uf 50v in a yellow band can. The 16v cap doesn't have a brand. Can't find datasheets with what I see printed on them.
Should I just stick standard 105c low esr caps everywhere?
