PS3 CECHA01 Capacitor replacement question

Hi everyone. New here. I made a problem for myself trying to delid my COK-001 PS3 in that I ripped some capacitors off in the process. These specific ones by the Cell:


2oZrqUy

Should be easy enough. Problem is, looking at the schematic the this board, only one has a listed value.

2oZtXm3

Does anyone know why they would describe the C1470 capacitor value as "XX" and then also have any information as to what the value of that capacitor is? Can I just assume it's the same as the rest in that array? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
 
I will assume that you do not have the original capacitors that got ripped off

What kind of schematic do you have?

The CECH-A01 PS3 has a COK-001. but your schematic details a motherboard that is different to my schematic of the COK-001 Motherboard

outlined in red those two capacitors near the top left corner of the cell are in different places than the caps in your diagram
Also outlined in blue are capacitors with a different number and are also in different places.

Or maybe my schematic is incorrect. Double check the schematic with the motherboard and see if they match.

I think its in the realm of possibility that the capacitor is 0.1uF, just like every other cap listed in that row.
That being said i do not know why Sony would decide to put XX instead of the actual capacitance listing. Maybe there is a glossary with it listed?

You're right! Here's my actual board:

Subtle difference. What are the values of C1146 and C1147 on your schematic, if you don't mind me asking. I've since hot air stationed two 100nF / 10V caps and it seem to be working fine, buuuuut. Haha
