Re: SMD Cap id.
Almost certainly 22uF.
It works the same as the resistor colour code system if you directly substitute numbers for colours, and gives the answer in pF. Thus, 2 (first figure), 2 (second figure), 6 (number of zeros) - 22,000,000pF or 22uF. Voltage isn't given - you'll have to decide this from the circuit! |

Re: SMD Cap id.
A little tip for replacing these is to use two irons at the same time, this considerably reduces the risk of damaging the board.
