Question about capacitor on motherboard

I have a PC with this motherboard in it. Believe it or not, it runs fine even though it is missing a capacitor! You can plainly see where it was ripped from the board; its legs are still attached to the board. The capacitor I need is identical to this capacitor, except my capacitor says 9X1 at the bottom where the capacitor I linked to says 6Z4. Can someone out there who knows how to read capacitors tell me if this number difference matters? Thanks!

 

Hi DLB,

The inportant data on the cap is that it's 820 Microfarad 2.5 Volt Solid State (Square?)cap. To get a lot of MFDs in a low area many caps are installed and wired in parallel on the MB. Loss of one of those may not cause any problem at all. Best to replace it but? Hope this helped a little.

Good Luck, Jim

 

I would be a little warry of replacing. If it aint broke dont fix it. By taking a soldering Iron to your MB you could do more damage than you fix

 

Hi DLB and Tueur,

Given a decent temperature controlled soldering station, a good solder sucker, some solder braid and experience there is no problem replacing a Capacitor on the MB.

Good Luck, Jim
