Hi. The board I own behaves strangely, at first it boots fine but after power cycle, it freezes at POST with some graphical glitches. The board had one capacitor broken off (CT12) so I have put a new one there, guessing it is a 100uF 16V as the other one near it. I'm thinking about complete recap but I would like to confirm my replacement cap is the correct size? Can somebody confirm it?

That capacitor needs to be 6.3V or higher and as large capacitance that you can fit there. Original was probably 470 or 1000µF

Well, I have Titanium IB too (without the '+') and there is a 1000uF 6.3V capacitor in the same spot. However I have checked some pictures of other IB+ boards online and there is a capacitor which looks too small to be 1000uF cap. For example here. That's why I have assumed it's a 100uF one.
