    How do I find the correct capacitors?

    I recently recapped my first computer (Power Mac 6100) and it seemed to go ok. After trying to boot it I get a crackly boot chime and then I hear the crash sound.

    How do I know if the replacement capacitors are suitable? (I am a total newbie and should have done a bit more research obviously)

    Original capacitors labelled:
    Y4 (I believe this is the batch number?)
    47
    16V

    On my other 6100 they are labelled:
    Small rectangle and then "4E"
    47
    16V

    Replacement capacitors: (aluminum polymer solid-electrolyte capacitors)

    214
    PG
    47
    16

    If these aren't suitable replacements how do I find the correct ones? I would prefer to stick with aluminum polymer solid-electrolyte so they don't leak in the future. The original capacitor labels don't match the current label typs so I'm not sure how to compare
