Dear friends,
Some capacitors are lost ( c67 ; c78 ; c97 ; c98 ) can you tell me the valency?
Thanks,

Dear friends,
I can't believe that no one is able to help me... :'(

Sorry, but since nothing is written on those darn small things, difficult to tell (?)

Sorry, I have been busy this week - otherwise I would have helped... ::)

(My widescreen telly died on me the other day and I've been Google-ing to find some info...) :'(

Anyhow, I have a burned out V5500 with all of the components intact. ;)

I will take some time out tomorrow to de-solder the four capacitors and measure their value. :)

Failing that - Hank might know the values... :P

QUESTIONS
---------------

1) Is it only the four Capacitors C67, C78, C97, C98 that are missing? ???

2) Can you provide pictures so I can locate them fast (pictures must NOT be fuzzy!) ;)

Thanks! ;D

The fourth one ( c67 ) is on an another V5 (first image)
Thanks a lot :)

Sorry Guys, just having a hell of time here. Too many serious things happenning :(.

The caps are most likely .1uF ceramic 0603 size X7R rating is fine. The location you marked should be a decoupling capacitor.

Thanks to all of you for helping me out.
So, all four decoupling capacitors are 0,1uF ceramic - 0603 size - X7R rating? I've marked two locations...
Take your time for answering me, I'm in no hurry.
Sorry for all the trouble and thanks again for your time and help!

P.s.
First V5 in second photo ( c78 ; c97 ; c98 )
Second V5 in first photo ( c67 not marked )

I checked on my V5 and all those capacitors are .1 uF. If the card is non functional, i'm afraid that resoldering those capacitors will not help. I had 2 decoupling capacitors missing on my 6000 right at the back of GPU no. 1, but the card was still working perfectly. I slill soldered on 2 for safety.

I'think you're right...
Second V5 ( cap c67 missing ) works fine but as you say for safety I think that I'll resolder it...
First V5 ( c78 ; c97 ; c98 ) is totally dead :'(

Sorry to hear about your second V5 5500 @Max_R :'(

I would have checked my V5500 as I said in my earlier post... :P

...but I've been fixing a laptop for a friend of mine this week... ::)

Still, at least you have one V5 that still works! ;)

Don't worry about my V5... SHE is in good hands... A friend of mine will re-solder the capacitors... If that doesn't work I'll send SHE to Amigamerlin...
Luckly enough, I have other two V5 that still works at least ;) and another one is coming soon... :)
