    News from the factory:

    Today I learned that not every capacitor capacity actually fits into every package size. 

    Yeah, yeah, I should’ve known.

    Physics and all that. It just totally slipped my mind.

    Anyway, on the board in question, there are some handy test pads, so I can just solder a capacitor on manually after the fact. Looking at the console’s mainboard, it looks like two capacitors might be affected there too…

    I’d better double-check that 😄 and tweak the design if needed.
