Hi, I recently came across a 64-256 XT system. There is one slight problem with the motherboard. Capacitor C56 is blown, its located near slot 5 at the back of the computer. If you power on the computer the cap catches fire:-D
The cap is charred and I cant read the value of it. Please could someone give me the correct value? Also does anyone know what may have caused the cap to blow in the first place?
I tried to get the tech reference manual from here:
ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/misc/IBM5160TechRef.pdf
But the link seems to be broken. Not sure if it contains troubleshooting info on what to do in case of fire
Any help appreciated
