OT - Help identifying an electronic component

[cartman]

Howdy,

With all of the EEs on the board, I'm hoping someone can help me indentify a part I need to replace.

I have a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard that stopped working, and of course, it's just out of warranty. :( So I opened it up to look for any obvious problems. And sure enough, I found one. There is only one small circuit board inside, that holds the circuitry for the Bluetooth transceiver. And what appears to be a ceramic disc capacitor is cracked in half. I am having a hard time identifying exactly what it is, so I can find a replacement. It is not round, like I usually expect, but more of an oblong shape, like a blimp. The only marking on it is A12-00Φ (hopefully the Phi symbol comes across).

Any clue as to the specs of this piece? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

It sounds like your garden variety capacitor.

a flux capacitor...? :)

I know nothing.

Simple, does it look like this:

Yep, but I'm trying to find out what its ratings are, so I can pick up an equivalent or better replacement.

Good luck with that. That'll be a tough one.

Can you read any of the markings on the component? This could me an idea of the storage voltage.

Is it connected to a Mr Fusion?

The only writing on it is A12-00Φ. That's why I like resistors, just decipher the colored bands, and you are set!

Dola and a bump,

Thought I'd bring this back up in case any of the EEs on the board might have missed it over the weekend. Still trying to identify the 10 cent part.
