<title><![CDATA[PowerBook 180: Blown Capacitor at point D15 on Logic Board]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>So I acquired a powerbook 180 from work. Unfortunately, it didn't work when I plugged it in. I opened it up, took it apart, and found a bulging capacitor. It's square, has the letters KM on it, and is set at pins labeled &quot;D15&quot; on the logic board near the charging port. It gets very hot when plugged in.</p>

<p>Any idea how I would go about fixing this or acquiring parts?</p>

<p>You can see there is electrolyte leaking from the part.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
