G4 quicksilver Mobo capacitor list (Cheat sheet)

Hi,

anyone done the hard  work so we can credit you and thank you?

could you also provide your supplier preference.

many thanks in advance  :mrgreen:

 
If you're talking solely electrolytic, here's what I saw when I cast my eye over a spare QS board I had laying around.

100uF 6V  x 6
220uF 35V x 2
330uF 16V x 1
22uF 35V x 1
100uF 35V x 1  
47uF 16V x 2

These are the only caps that are likely to fail, although QS logic boards tend to be fine beside bad solder points (anecdotal from the three I own). There are tantalum caps on the underside of the board but I would be amazed if any of them had failed yet.

Supplier preferences will vary from country to country. For the UK I recommend RS Components to most people due to their excellent customer service. 

 
No worries, do share any repairs that end up doing. I've never heard of anyone replacing caps on a Quicksilver so I'd love to see what you're up to. If you need any parts that are hard to come by I have enough donor motherboards that I'm sure I could help you out.
