that makes sense, these caps are all over the board, the only variant are two electrolytic caps that were mounted kind of poor from the factory. they don;t look bulged or leaky though.
this board is pretty old actually, 1993 date on it, IBM 486 board.

awesome, thank you! It's 3x6mm, and the ones that are working still on the motherboard are running at 5v, so I'll try to find something. There's actually some by kyocera on digikey that look very similar, and do come in the same size www.digikey.com/en/products/...

Can anyone help me identify this capacitor? I think I'm reading
10uf 16v but I can't tell what the rest is (y323? 9323?)
I had one blow up yesterday and looking for a replacement :)

I'd have to consider this a computer, '89 or '90 I got one of these Smart Start computers, the next year I got the other. I'm pretty sure this is the first computer I ever touched. but I loved to pretend I was using a real terminal. vtech.fandom.com/wiki/Smart_S... vtech.fandom.com/wiki/Smart_S...

A couple weeks ago when I was going to work, something snapped and the rear end of my car lost control. After I stopped I seen that the left rear wheel had turned 45 degrees outward. Turns out the 'suspension control arm' broke. Next week I am going to document my attempt on repairing it myself.

I am almost able to get on the #GlobalTalk chat 0.9 on this mac SE. I've been messing around with memory configurations trying to get enough free memory to open hypercard 2.4. I got this far, but my ethernet connection is too slow to connect/stay connected to the chat. Going to keep trying though!
