We’ve been using these Murata GMK316AB7106KL-TR with good success. There are alternatives, but these are known to be of good quality. You can find other alternative 1206 sizes for 10uF, but make sure the voltage is above 20V. We try to use the best so we don’t have to ever open the same HomePod twice!
Thanks for the great video. My HomePod also stopped working. After watching your video, I dared to do it myself. And look, the diode was also shorted. After replacing it, I powered the HomePod and it doesn't work. After disassembling it again, I had to realize that the diode got short again. Do you have any idea what to do.
@@michelcipriani4537 That is strange if it happened very soon afterwards. I wonder if the replacement diode was subjected to excessive heat when it when it was being replaced. Did you use a heat gun when replacing the diode?
Hello ! Very nice video, thanks ! Could you give us the information about the smd capacitors you were replacing please ?

Yes I did, I used a temperature of 400°C.
