Heard something rattling around inside my laptop. When I took it apart to repaste the heat sink, I found a rectangle cap. that looks similar to this:
Tantalum Capacitors - Google Search
The black one.
It says
330
15VP9e
Sooo......... what should i do ?
-
solder it back on?
good luck finding out where it goes?
that would REALLY bother me.... -
Yeah it bothers me and I have looked. Cannot see anything that sticks out. Unforgettably there are many areas it could go...... its a clean break as well
I think i'm just kind of screwed here and will just have to run it as is. I just don't know what its doing to my performance..... Its not there for extra parts!

We could send it in to take a look at it. Send me a PM if you would like to do that.

I would certainly have it looked at, it might be ok, but the wrong part will mean something could now be stressed way beyond where it should be and it could die pretty fast.
M14x capacitor broke off board, still works.
