Can someone please tell me how to locate the nec/tokin caps on my toshiba sattalite a205-s7458 motherboard? I have searched everywhere to no avail. I am going crazy, Ive read every post on google search thats listed and I still cant find it.... I am about to loose my freakin mind ! If someone will help me I will name my first born after them... as long as their name isnt rumplestillskin or something crazy... lol ! Thank you for taking the time to read my post. God bless..
 
That is just the brand of the capacitors, you don't see any capacitors on your motherboard? Looks like there is at least one in one of the corners.
 
im suffering the freeze hang thing when I plug my power supply in. I have tried the power maintanece thing this is the last and only thing it could be.
 
just a heads up if you are looking for cylinders, laptops have all but completely switched over to chip style capacitors.
