Hi there,
While trying to mount my Arduino Mega 1280, I accidentally busted the highlighted capacitors. I want to see if I can replace them to get it working. Can anybody identify the values needed?
Thanks!

Hey,
Doesn't your board work at all without these caps?? Anyhow, looking at the schematic: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardMega
These are 100nF decoupling caps for the FTDI..

C15 and C16 according to your board, Bob

Ok, as baselsw said, those are the 100nFs for the FTDI chip. Can't see having them missing would affect anything; Reset cap, I don't think I've ever included that on in a design, and the 3.3V not too important if the external connections had decoupling caps too.
Did any traces get ripped off the board?
