Thanks!

I appreciate everyone's help.

[COLOR=Blue][B]...little more presistence and patience.[/B][/COLOR]

I located a place called [B]MCM[/B]. It appears that they have everything you can imagine for retail in small quantitites.

[COLOR=Blue][B]My question now is can I use the replacement in the attached picture?[/B][/COLOR]

My concern is that [B]the replacement capacitor is rated for 25V[/B]. It is my novice understanding that capaticence is not generally negotiable, but voltage rating of capacitor can be higher than engineered....is this true?...

I'm having no luck locating a similar radial leaded.

Any leads is much appreciated.

Anyone out there with a junk board who can send me a couple of these caps, I will gladly pay for it.

thanks,

[B]With a little more research I found this great source of information:[/B]

Benefits of Polymer Capacitors

Polymer capacitors are characterised by lower ESR and ability to handle higher ripple current than their wet electrolytic counterparts. They are also characterised by not changing their ESR when their operating temperature changes and also having a much longer life. Sanyo quotes a 10 times increase in lifetime for a 20degC reduction in operating temperature for their OS-CON polymer capacitors whist a wet...

The one I found at Radio Shack was a

10uF 16V 20% Dipped Tantalum Capacitor.

Leads were snapped off at the very base of the cap.

Just out of curiosity why wouldn't any 10[I]uf[/I] cap work?Re: Broken Capacitor GA-X48-DQ6

[SIZE=3]Hi,

I'm doing my very first build. While installing my sound card, I accidentally knocked off one of the small capacitors. See picture.

The Markings on the capacitor are:
A?A
10
10V

I take that to be a Surface Mount Aluminum
Electrolytic Capacitors.

10 [I]uf[/I]
10 Volt

My question is can i jus replace this with regular electrolytic capacitor from Radio Shack?

10 [I]uf[/I]
16 Volt

Thanks much.
