I’m pretty certain that the 170 is the same 47uf/16v but I can’t fully remember. I saw the value last time I took it apart but never bothered to replace the cap. I will try to confirm tonight if I have the time.
Didn’t expect that but definitely good to knowHad a sneaking suspicion the trackball hid something. 1x 10μF/16V. Likely harmless but good to know anyway.
That happened on all of my 100 series laptops so far. Just put some superglue around them and hopefully that will hold for a while.Since this is a preventative maintenance thread, threaded insert bosses for trackball are both threatening to quit.
I don't like using CA glue. At least not by itself. The stress riser in the material remains there, and cracks can propagate so I'd melt/drill the end of the crack before gluing/attempting to reinforce. To be honest drilling is a bit hard, maybe using a fine tip burr on a dremel. But yeah, junk tip on a soldering iron works too.Just put some superglue around them
