Ceramic capacitor question - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Hi Tony (and list),

...
  Why do you suspect they're faulty (or why do you
want to 
 replace them).  
They're physically broken :) Perils of parcelling up an open board without
covering it sufficiently......

...
  will be fine. Actually, a lot of these caps will be
between the +5V 
 supply and ground, so the Mapl 0.1uF 16V ones would do as 
 well. But I'd use the 50V ones. 
Yup; certainly all of the broken ones were between +5V and GND and I got
them swapped over last night - 104Z 50V ones 'cos I found a parking space
just round the corner from the shop on my way home, and I got 12 english
pence back too :)

This brings to mind a separate question that I'll post in a bit.

cheers!
