that's a good question. I'd like to get more info on that supply as well.

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
