Capacitor Reference - PowerBook 165c

The PowerBook 165c has no electrolytic capacitors on the logic board. The display, inverter board, and trackball have some through hole electolytic caps on them. These don't always fail, but replacing them is not at all a bad idea as they can sometimes leak.


Reference Values

Value Count Type
10uf 63v 7 Low Profile Radial Electrolytic

LCD Inverter Board

It's basically impossible to find a replacement for the 8.2uf 80v caps. Substituting 10uf 80v caps works fine.

Value Count Type
8.2uf 80v 2 Low Profile Radial Electrolytic
Unknown Value 1 Low Profile Radial Polymer - these very rarely fail

Trackball

Value Count Type
10uf 16v 1 Radial Electrolytic
