Hi there

I replaced the C1 cap with this new one as per instruction of the Macplus
PDF repair manual that is floating around the net. It says to replace it
with a 50v or greater capacitor and that it HAS to be non polar. The only
thing it doesn't mention is the UF rating and i'm not savvy enough to know
if thats important in this situation or not.

Btw can someone please confirm for me that i've replaced C1 with a
suitable component. I bought a 10uf 50v non polar capacitor to replace
the possibly defective one at C1.

Shouldn't it be 3.9uf? I think the original is 3.9uf.

It doesn't really matter as long as it's not too small. I used four (4) 1uf monolithic ceramic caps in parallel to avoid the whole electrolytics category.
