I'm looking to confirm the type of a capacitor, if it is indeed a capacitor.
This Starcap "battery-cap" thing looks like a button battery but is labeled with what appear to be capacitor values.

I installed the caps in the Lxx locations, because the pads are bigger there. Then I jumped the Cxxx locations instead of installing inductors. Finally, I installed the e-sata jack. It is a little...

Re: DC blocking caps + ? in sata data lines?
I just checked C204,206,208,210 with a microscope. They are in series with the sata data lines. They don't have one side going to ground like C213, 214, 217, 218 do on the two usb port data lines. ...

Re: Taicon HH replacement?
The bung is firm.
I got them from auction (http://www.ebay.com/itm/140526489748). I'm glad they are probably good because I also got KZH 3300uF 10v in 10mm, which is also hard to find in 10mm.

Re: Taicon HH replacement?
So, Nichicon HV comes in 10mm x 25mm for;
2200uF 10v
1800uF 16v
I wonder if 4x1800uF might be able to replace 4x2200uF. Aside from the uF, the ESR and ripple specs are a good match.
Or,...
