Hello Jerry, I finally got back to that camcorder and pulled the pcb out. I am having trouble finding the cap/location to which you refered. To the upper left there are mostly sm resistors and transistors. Is it under the bottom shield? Also, I have found nothing rattling around inside either. Am I looking in the wrong place?
