I am wondering about replacing some capacitors in my SE30, specifically the 16v 47µF ones that mostly are found on the logic board (I've just discovered that several of these have been leaking, so I suppose that 'tis time for a small piece of electronics repair).
Somewhere or other (Applefritter, maybe?), I have read that finding exact matches for the replacement of these capacitors is strictly unnecessary, i.e., that capacitors with different specs can readily be used. Is there someone with the necessary know-how out there who could comment on this suggestion? Would, for instance, the 47µF 50v capacitors that I have lying around work the requisite magic, or 33µF 16v capacitors? Or would installing such components merely fry the machine?
Excuse my ignorance, but I would welcome an explanation. And no, don't worry, my instinct is to find components with the original specs, so I don't have the soldering iron warming up or anything.
