    Bad capacitors on Dell SX260

    I have two SX260's that will not start up right now, both have several bulging capacitors many with brown residue on top of them. All of the problem capacitors are labeled as 6.3v 2200 uF, is there an easy way to find the diameter and height without taking the capacitor off and measuring it?

    Now I looked at the stock on this site, and it seems the only capacitors that match the specs I need all have a 10mm diameter and 20mm size, would it be safe to assume this is the size I need? If so should I go with the Rubycon or Samxon? Thanks for such a helpful website!

    Put a tooth-pick next to the cap and mark it for how tall the cap is and then measure the tooth-pick.

    OR
    Look up the original caps in their data sheet.

    10x20mm should be fine.
    - But check first.

    Use the Rubycon.
