Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

I have the new capacitor (I ordered the one you linked me to) and I am taking the board to a guy I found who will do the soldering while I watch and isn't charging me a lot (he seems like a real nice guy).
I'd like to thank you again selldoor, as without you I would still be getting frustrated with this laptop.
Thank you so much

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

Thanks again for your help mate

I've just found this:
[url]http://www.nhl.pl/lofiversion/index.php/t63766.html[/url]

If you scroll down to the the picture where the heat sink cover is open you can see there are 3 capacitors above the gpu (with the same volt caps) and only 2 on mine. When I inspect the area on my board the gloss of the board is dull there and looks like theirs been some heat discoloring.
If I use a volt meter there would should I be looking for?

btw my capacitor...

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

thank you so much for finding that for me I really appreciate it (I really am very much a novice when it comes to these things)
Now back to finding out where it came from *rolls eyes*
Is there equipment that can be used to find where it came from or is going to be a visual thing?

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

I can't see another number there no, just the Hannstar one. I don't think the capacitor has been knocked either I think it has gotten to hot and movement in the laptop has worked it loose although I'm not 100% sure.
The other issue I have is that if I do find where it's from then I'm going to have to find someone to do the solder as I don't have the equipment or experience.
Thanks for your help so far though, I really appreciate it
So you think as long as the cap is 560uf and 2.5v it should be fine?

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

does the capacitor have to be the exact one as I need to purchase a new one?

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

Ok, I took a clear picture of all the places the capacitor could go:

The one above the gpu is the one I suspected (the 6th picture along) but the solder isn't flat there....

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

The third pic is where I thought it could be from but there are a lot of locations to choose from
Sorry about the blurry pics btw, my camera on my phone isn't that great, I can try and take some pics with better focus if these ones are useless to you.
Here is a pic of the capacitor:...

Re: clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

yeah, I am in conversation with the seller atm and he is going to have the laptop back if I can't fix it ( I kinda wanted to fix it as I wanted the laptop). I'll try to get the pics up, I think the board is a Hannstar J MV-4 940V-0 1224.
Thanks for the fast reply...

clevo w370et miscellaneous capacitor.

Hi all, I hope someone can help me here as I'm about to find a corner to cry in. Basically, I purchased a laptop second hand from ebay and when it came there was a rattle inside the laptop. So I opened it up thinking I was going to find some broken plastic or a screw and instead a miscellaneous solid state surface mount capacitor fell out.
I decided to strip the laptop down to investigate where it has come from and it turns out there are a lot of places for capacitors on the board that are not being used so I am finding it near impossible to find out where this capacitor is from
