By the way, this capacitor is also great to zap the input fuse of the RCX (a
1.5A fast blow SMD fuse): if you power the RCX then accidentally make a dead
short across power terminals, it will discharge through the fuse and blow
it...

Hopefully you didnt find this out the hard way...

A friend did the mistake for me... but I had to repair a few of his RCXs! The
connector he used to plug an external supply was prone to be shorted (on RCX
side) when he unplugged it. It was only several fuses later that we understood
the problem!!!
