Hi,
This is a long shot, but does anyone know the capacitor value for the tiny 0402 capacitors on the 12900K under the IHS?
I am also wondering if the function of these capacitors is known. They look small for decoupling to me.
I stupidly knocked them when delidding as a shaving of the silicone I was removing hid them - turns out my eyesight is not what it used to be. I think I have stared at one PCB too many!
Here's a photo of the capacitors. I have surface mount tools, so should be able to get them back on, but I only have one of the two. I did have both, but a little too much tension in my tweezers and the little critter launched itself like a flea, never to be seen again.
If anyone knows the value or function then great. If not, I'll try to measure the remaining one with a capacitance meter and post back here.
Thank you @der8auer for your excellent delid video, so I can get the orientation right when I put them back... hopefully! Your comment of 'Good luck putting those back on if you knock them off' has made me kick myself several times, especially since I watched your video twice before attempting the delid myself! ?
