Blown C502 capacitor on USRP1

Hi all,

I have a blown capacitor on my USRP1 (ser#1920).
It is C502 which according to the diagram is a 100uF.
Since I don’t know much about hardware I don’t know exactly what to
order though (ie, form factor, voltage rating, etc).
Can someone help with the exact specs.

thanks for the help,
Achilleas

That is a tantalum 100uF capacitor, in EIA Size C (6032). It should be
10 or 16V rated at least.

But I have to ask, how did you blow this capacitor, and what else is
damaged as a result?

Marcus,

I cannot answer neither of your questions:
at some point i realized that the capacitor was blown.
I have no way of knowing if anything else is damaged
(at least visually everything seems OK).
I will report back when i apply the fix.

thanks
