    Nice easy fix. A long time ago, I had a Radio Shack PC-4 pocket computer. Brilliant it was.

    - Yeah, I remember those dreadful organizer thingies of the '90s. This is like Kryten from Red Dwarf repairing Talkie The Toaster; why would YOU do that? (I guess that makes me Lister then, eh?). The only reason why I endured watching this resurrection-torture-session to the end, was to see if we got another peep at that 👻UTTER GHOSTBUSTERS JOYGASM 👻on your wall there, in the background. Hey, where is our entire set of Ghostbusters emojis? Am I right? - (Mate, I'm not picking on ya. You're great! 💜- Those hateful '90s organizers on the other hand! 🤣)

    Excellent video. Do you think the cap broke because it wasn't in properly and someone pushed a bit too hard on the keypad? looks like that row of caps is around where the spacebar is. I had a palm pilot back in 2003. I used it lots for work but when its battery died I lost the info stored in it. Every night I'd have to plug it into my home computer to back up the info.

      @yanghao8351 you know what I didn't think.of that fsirplay that could be it, the pressure pad is so naf that it could be a case of pushing to hard

    Nice repair! How did you knew the value of the capacitor?

      I didn't, I did say in part of the video that I was flying by the seat of ky pants in terms of the capacitance but it ended up on the cutting room floor as the old saying goes

      I was gonna ask the same thing. I suppose as long as the cap has enough voltage and capacitance... Hopefully it's good. Did you just chose any random cap or did you have an educated guess.

      Without schematics and or a component list it's difficult to tell what value of cap you need. Those little SMD caps don't have a value written on them and they look similar. I had a PSone with a broken cap like the one in the video. Luckily I had the repair guide because the broken cap had a different value than the ones around it yet they all looked the same. If I didn't have that info I might have replaced it with a cap that had the same value as the ones nearby.
