I mothballed my old 17" MBP a two years ago and lit it up for the first time saturday. It started blowing magic smoke after about three seconds and was (unsurprisingly) very crashy. Opening it up showed that the thermal compound on the GPUs and CPU had crumbled into dust and spread out across the board presumably causing a short that trashed a pair of capacitors. I'm looking for the ID (capacitance and voltage) on C7680 and C7640 from a a1151 logic board so I can replace them.
Before the obvious is pointed out, the tags on them are too burned to read at this point.
Thanks in advance,
