Title: PC Engine Duo cermic cap question
Post by: MNKyDeth on 07/29/2016, 07:43 PM
I have a board here that I think I have some bad ceramic caps on at location C618 and C617 but I cannot find good values for these caps anywhere. uF rating or volts.

They are next to IC505

Any help is appreciated.

What makes you think they are bad?

One fell off the board from corrosion in that area. The other one is very discolored compared to any other boards I have. I just cant seem to get readings that are the same across the couple of machines I have here.

Anyways, I found the one that fell off under the pcb and soldered it back on. The sound works but it a little low. So I am going to check other areas for now. But I still wouldn't mind knowing the values of those ceramic cap locations.

Good luck!
