Damn Capacitors!
Posted 10 months ago
I can not believe how unbelievably difficult it is to find a 470uF 10V capacitor that is less than 8mm in diameter. I need one that is about 1/4in (roughly 6mm). The fact that these are so difficult to find tells me that perhaps they are too small to begin with hence the reason they are failing.
Everything I find is 8mm or bigger! I need 4 of these to replace bulging capacitors in a Gateway machine that went south. Its still a very capable machine though and I would love to ressurect it from the dead.
Back to scraping the net to hopefully find a match.
Update: I did find the capacitors I needed at the following eBay stores:
