upcyclist said:The ones you're after are the capacitors, shades of beige usually, and designated with Cxxx (C followed by a number).
Note that the blues and blacks are marked with an R for Resistor. You also generally don't want them other letters. You can do a web search on identifying electronic components--there's lots of good primers out there.
Edited for clarity

Sorry if I led a fellow Norwegian astray, if only for a few hours

This would have been nice to know from the beginning.

I want a copy.
I could spend a couple of lifetimes studying it.
Someone did, and the best thing is they're giving it away for free! All the Tricks. And it's digital Shark. 8)markk said:Someone should write a paper with " ALL " the tricks in it .

Someone should write a paper with " ALL " the tricks in it . There is so much information that is not given easily. If you read or watch videos you get the basics but not the whole story . I have spent many hours on this matter and constantly find new info . Just now I find out that some MLCC are magnetic and resistors contain silver. This info should have been in every "how to " post on chips. There is also lots of info that should be put in every post on gold.

I'm not sure if I've posted this before, but I remember jotting down some notes of the "Stages of Learning" one evening.Shark said:Take Dave's post serious, the information is here, you just have to work at it. If all that information was available the way your asking, would you really understand it all the first time around. I have been reading this forum for several years now along with the various PDF files posted on here as well. The more I read the more I realize just how little I know. There are members here who have been refining for years, some most of their lives, and you will find posts made by many of them where they learn something new quite often. Learning is the cake, the results of the learning is icing on that cake. Stay after it, you will learn a lot if you don't let it overwhelm you.
PlainsScrapper said:Yes, any components beige-colored are MLCCs, provided they are marked with a C, followed by numbers.
The question I have is that some of the components have letters before C, like BC for example. Are these still good to pick?
