Clumsy clean causing carnage.

Hi folks.

So I've clumsily tried to clean and re-apply thermal compound to my xbox one. Something I'm usually quite safe doing - only this time I started without my glasses on, slipped taking the tension clip off and totalled several conductor runs and clipped off component c4t14.

Anyone help with identifying c4t14? It's tiny so it's lost but I think with some patience I could repair it if i got a replacement - at least I'd like to give it a go anyway.

All help appreciated. Thanks.

Second Edit for clarity:

Added images of the actual board and location of c4t14. Alphanumeric locator is lower half of T4.

That's certainly an option I hadn't considered. Small risk that a non-working mobo wouldn't have the part I needed, but not likely.

I'm a stereotypical scotsman though - why pay pounds for a bigger part, when a few pence for the component might do? 🤣

Though it would provide spares for other future glasses missing malfunctions... 🤔

@decrepitdragon I have a couple of boards here. I am a bit lazy and overworked ;-) Where is c4t14 located? You can either give me the coordinates based on the alphanumeric locators or you can post an images with your QUESTION. Adding images to an existing question

I'll desolder and measure it once I know where it is

That's very kind of you bud. I've edited the original question to include a rough location, though the first image is a stock file and has different component locations it seems... hope I haven't picked a 360 image by accident... 😯

Much appreciated. Let's not mention the 360 thing though eh? I'm trying to look like I know what I'm talking about here... 😉🤣

@decrepitdragon okay so I found it :-) it's a 1µF capacitor in a 0402 package (1mm x 0.5mm) equivalent to the 1005 metric package. most of these are of the 6.3V variety but you can always go up to something like 10V or so. It is not going to hurt the capacitance. Do not go lower than the common 6.3V.

If someone here has an Xbox one, an SMD ruler, and an LCR meter or Transistor Tester, they might be able to guide you to a replacement part. Otherwise, I think your best bet is to get a cheap non-working motherboard on eBay (or a similar site) and transfer the capacitor from there to your Xbox motherboard.
