Step 2Tantalum capacitors
These are the electrolytic capacitors usually found on surface mounted boards. They have to be connected the right way round. The positive terminal is marked with a band. If there are two numbers on it, one is the rated voltage and the other is the capacitance.
I'm sorry, I do not have further info on identifying them other than checking them in a multimeter which has a capacitance range.
They usually look like little bricks with metal strips issuing from their ends, folded over the bottom.
On the left of the picture are ceramic capacitors - MLCs - short for Multi Layer Ceramic - usually they are this brown colour, though I have seen black and white, and the ends look as if dipped in metal. There are usually no markings at all, so measurement is the only way to classify them.
