Hi all,
Does anyone happen to know the value of C13 in a Compaq Portable II power
supply? It's a small-ish tantalum that lives next to the heatsink between
U6 and U7 - although mine doesn't live any more, having just roasted itself
in spectacular fashion.
Quite possibly there's some other fault at play, but on the other hand it
may have just been its time; tantalums in vintage stuff seem a little prone
to failure.
cheers
Jules
