Help with component identification

Guest
Hello all, I am trying to replace this damaged component (
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/2852332506_8ce5251b53_m.jpg ). I'm
pretty sure it's a surface mount capacitor but I can't figure out
what
it's values are or where to get a replacement (digikey?). Can I just
replace it with a standard radio-shack cap of the same capacitance?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Try here: http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/calc/calccap.php
and here: http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/data/itemsaf/capmarks.php

I'm not sure which 3-digit number represents the value, but I hope this
helps a bit.
For example, if the first number, 100, is the value:
Look it up on the first link I included, and it turns out to be 10pf, 2%.
IF the first number is the value.

I'm guessing 100uF 16V.

I did find that, but as you said, don't know which one is the value. I
remember once seeing a website that could decode these but I can't
find it.

shows how to read those numbers.

This datasheet shows a series G cap:

Yes it's a surface mount electrolytic cap. Quite possibly 100uF, 16V.

Does that make sense in the circuit context ?

Another important question is 'how' is it damaged? Physically knocked
off the board? They can be re-installed if the pads are still OK. We
buy 100uF 16V SMT caps in reels of 1000 to work on Sony Digital
BetaCam machines. SMT 'lytics - from our viewpoint - are the worst
pieces of crap ever to hit the electronics industry. The failure rate
is astronomical - at least the ones in Panasonic and Sony. We use the
Panasonic 'FK' or 'HD' series as replacements.

I couldn't agree more. They have a dreadful reputation are aren't even
cheap. Give me through-hole any day for non size critical applications.
They don't actually take up any more room if you get the miniature ones.
