Capacitor Reference - PowerBook 1400cs

I'd recommend recapping the 1400cs at this point, if you're confident in your soldering abilities. They don't always need it yet, but they can occasionally leak or cause problems.


Reference Values

I'd recommend buying smaller diameter replacements for the 100uf caps to make it easier to solder the new ones in. There isn't much clearance with the original size.

Value Count Type Diameter Height
100uf 35v 9 Surface-Mount Electrolytic 10mm 10mm
33uf 25v 1 Surface-Mount Electrolytic -- --

Some 1400cs units shipped with a Hitachi LCD instead. I don't have the cap values for that one yet.
