Blown cap value

[R-1125F]

I need to replace a capacitor like the one in the photo.   I don't know how to read the code on it.  It is a 3528 size tantalum capacitor marked with a capital E and another character that I don’t recognize.  I am guessing that it is a 15 micro Farad 25V.   Could someone tell me the value of this cap and how to read the code in case I run into another one?

Without knowing the manufacturer it could mean anything.
even knowing who made it it could just be a batch number.

Find another of  the same component on the board and remove / measure it is the only way.
chances are that its just a filter cap on a power rail so as long as the voltage rating is high enough for the rail then sumthing around the same size should be fine.

mmm    the pc17  marking  does not generally fit a capacitor placement ?

What kind of device is it, on what power rail it sits?

This in an MSI laptop.  I think the "P" designates that the cap is on a power rail.  I beleive this is on the 20V power circuit in the GPU area.  There is no schematic available for this model, but I compared it to another similar model and it uses 15 microfarad at 25V.   I resisted pulling a good one out, but I may have to do that to be sure.

Very unlikely that it's a regular tantalum capacitor. Most likely it's either LOW ESR polymer tantalum or polymer aluminum. Anyway, putting 25V regular tantalum capacitor on a 20V rail is a no go. They need at least 30% voltage derating and 60% for actually good reliability. On other hand polymer tantalum and polymer aluminum do not require huge derating.

I think I figured out what it is.  It was made by KYOCERA AVX, part number TCOB1E156M8R.  According to the datasheet, the code for a 25V 15 microfarad conductive polymer tantalum cap is Ee.  The datasheet did not make this easy to find.
