Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you've got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console's last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik's Cube, flex elsewhere. If you're trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik's Cube, post away!

Picked up this Series X to do a trace repair for the hdmi, turns out 2 caps were ripped off the board as well. The one was still partially connected and easy to bodge. The second circled is missing. I'm curious if anyone knows the replacement value.

The similar caps in the area all read between 18.6 to 19.6 uf when out of circuit, so it could be a few values (though no guarantee this cap wasn't unique and completely different).

Looks like a decoupling cap. So the value isn’t going to be super critical. If you put in a cap in the same ballpark as the others it should be fine.

Edit: there’s another missing cap above the cap that sits above the one you bodged. A small one. If you count from the large untinned pad on the right next to the edge of the board, left of the 4th tinned pad you will find it.

Good eye, I need to go over the entire board again and look for those. Combined with the other answer that help me with a revision that actually is labeled, you are right. It should be a 22uf 6.3 0603 decoupling cap.
