Picked up this Series X to do a trace repair for the hdmi, turns out 2 caps were ripped off the board as well. The one was still partially connected and easy to bodge. The second circled is missing. I’m curious if anyone knows the replacement value.

The similar caps in the area all read between 18.6 to 19.6 uf when out of circuit, so it could be a few values (though no guarantee this cap wasn’t unique and completely different).

    Not going to be a special value on a BOM. If the footprint is the same as the ones you replaced, it will likely be the same. No bypass cap that already likely has a 5-20% tolerance is likely to have its own pick and place reel slot. If some other value was needed, it would be one of the other footprints and a cap that matches somewhere else on the board.

      Yeah that makes sense, Microsoft is definitely going to keep costs down and not switch out those reels. Based on the other info, these are 22uf 20%, so in spec with the others I’ve measured.
