Hey guys! I just recently picked up a Neo-Geo MVS MV1-AX and a 161 in 1 multicart on Ebay and have been loving it. However I've been getting random restarts so I inspected the board and found that one of the SMD capacitors was missing. It looks like 0805 size but I was wondering if any of you might know the nf ratings on these. I know the Multicart uses 0805 100nf. Would it be safe to assume that is what the board uses too? Thanks!https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/21623872_10212641216559830_1459511685_n.jpg?oh=5fa692a9489f24a74354345c9c0fe50e&oe=59B8BB36https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/21553106_10212641216679833_342778521_n.jpg?oh=62016cb2186096706eb7cf02d65c8348&oe=59B8BE3C

I had a similar situation with the broken off ceramic caps, except mine was not restarting. I just filled in the spaces in with 0.1uf ceramic caps.

I used a fluke multimeter clone to measure, removed the SMD cap from the board for a better measurement and the component measured a few times AVG is about 110.0 ~ 100.0 nF for PC42 on a MV-1AX board like yours. Hope this helps. Id say it would be safe to go with 100 nF
