I was making a capacitor list to recap an intermittently functioning MI5VP4-1.10, and I managed to get them all apart from one that's just to the left of the ATX power connector, right in the middle underneath the latch. It's labelled TC4 on the silk screen.
The value markings are facing the ATX connector so they were impossible to read without removing the cap even under a microscope. I wasn't able to desolder the cap with the tools I have on hand without damaging it. I tried prying it sideways (with the intention that even if the cap was destroyed, knowing the value would make it possible to replace), but I then saw that the label was cut half way through the uF value - it's ?0uF 25V by the looks.
The next figure to the left has a vertical line on the right hand side so I'd say it's either a 0 or a 1, and the cap is either a 100uF of a 10uF... but it's a different size to the other 10uF 25V caps on the board, and it looks a little small to be a 100uF to me.
Weirdly enough, after abusing the cap in this manner the board seems much more reliable (so far)
Anyone have any ideas?
