Does anyone know the value of this capacitor right by the coil? I have a board with it missing.

If only one is missing, I wouldnt worry much about it. For the value, I'd guess these are 0.1uF caps. Couldn't tell you the voltage rating, but it must be fairly low if they have so many in parallel.

If you can get a hold of a cheap caliper set, you'll be able to figure out the case size.

I think OP meant that tiny one between the red circles and next to the silver chip. Follow that red line from the text "cap value".

Yuck, thats tiny. Probably an 0201 package size. As for the value, 0.1uF is still probably a safe estimate.

Probably wouldn't hurt to buy a capacitor kit with some different values. I wouldn't go crazy trying to find the exact value. If ya get it to work, then let it be.

yeah, the three sets of capacitors are 4 capacitor in parallel that apply to all them.

By example if they are 0.1 uf each the 4 are the equivalent to a 0.4 uf capacitor then if one is missing the others now are a 0.3uf capacitor.

almost all those are 10% tolerance. so in summary, if only one is missing is not too important, but 2 or more, well...

ah, OK I am very old, and almost blind!! sorry.

These is a low filter one, and even if the device works fine without them the device could behave unstable without it. NOT CAN BE REPLACED BY A RESISTOR, if you look is working in tandem with the resistor, the two together are a electronic device.

Thanks every one. I am trying to get it working. I have no 5 volt power on from the other side of the board here. I think it may be that ic, but I don't have any donor boards and can't find the ic data sheet.

    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
