Broken off Capacitor???
-
I accidentally broke off a component from the board. I think this is a capacitor but I am not sure, I am not sure. I would like to try to resolder it but i don't know if it is even worth it.
I put it in a red box in the screen shot.Thanks
Hi @isagmz
That is indeed a cap. It is a 4.7uF 25V 0603 in support of the 5V input rail when sourced by J5.
We have so much margin on the 5V power rail, I would not worry about one cap missing. My best advice is to clean up that area to make sure there is no FOD or ripped up pads that can cause a short on that 5V rail from the broken cap, and just keep developing.
Let us know if you have any other issues.
Thanks!
