Just got 04 last week and immediately my 11 year old has the back plate off his robosapien and is clipping off the 4 mhz oscillator. That part was easy.We tore up an old radio and just happened to find a capacitor that is 10V and 22uF. It's the light blue cylinder type. We attached it with alligator clips, but no luck, the robo won't power up. So I tried about a dozen other capacitors, cylinders, buttons, beads, none work. Some say "103P" does that mean 103 pico Farads? Is there a web sight to tell me how to tell the uF of a capacitor?
Failing that, in what sort of electonic junk am I likely to find a 6 mhz crystal oscillator? A toaster? A radio?
Many thanks.
