Re: Help identifying missing smd capacitor for HP elitebook 840 g3

mon2, thank you so very much for the detailed information! I ended up purchasing a very cheap donor board from eBay so I can replace the cap. Good to know that it's not going to result in any issues not being there.

In an unfortunate mishap while attempting to read from the bios chip, one of the smd capacitors took flight and disappeared.

I'm not sure how crucial this smd capacitor is, but it was a brown possibly ceramic one with no notable markings on it anywhere.

I've attached a picture of where it's located on the board.



Does anyone have an HP elitebook 840 g3 who might be able to aid me identifying this component. I'm not sure how crucial it is, but didn't want to risk it.

Thank you for any help you can provide....
