Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

can i use this capacitor?

Post by Blank-Disk »

on my retro-duo, i noticed that one of the capacitors looked like it had burned a bit. it's rating is 10v 100uF. i went to radioshack,a dn the closest they ahd was 35v, 100uF. Can I still use this capacitor as it uses the same farads?

Yes, because the voltage rating is the maximum voltage that can be placed across the capacitor without blowing the thing apart.
