Title: Rockminer R-Box Schematic/Components List
Post by: CoinMLS on January 08, 2023, 10:13:12 PM
My old Rockminer R-box stopped working and it appears that the C36 capacitor.
I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have access to one that can identify the size of the capacitor or the schematics? The PCB is marked R_BOX_V1.1 2014_04_27

I tried to search but no one shared this schematic/components list for this unit.

Why did you suspect the capacitor? Do you feel when touching the capacitor is too hot? It's a simple way to know if the caps are shorted.

If you have a multimeter you can check the resistance of the power terminal if it shorted or not and if it's a ceramic capacitor you can remove it and try to run it without the capacitor.

Did you check your capacitor orientation? You can also bridge the track with wire if it is broken/not working if the system will work and then you will need to replace those capacitors

Just look here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=639030.0

Scroll a bit down, there are nice pictures of the PCB.
Click on the Picture, and you will have a zoom option.
What makes you think that the C36 (where ever it is) is broken?
A picture would be nice, to identfy the location.
Found it, looks like a 100 nF Capacitor, but I can Measure it on one of my R-Box to be secure.
