While using a Duo MiniDock, the familiar fishy smell of bad capacitors started filling the air. I took apart the dock and was surprised to see 4 large electrolytic caps inside. I wasn't able to find these documented anywhere online so here you go...

2x 100uF/35V
2x 330uF/16V

All are abut 10.3mm L x 10.3mm W x 10mm H.

These didn't look leaky but smell quite bad.

The dock itself was kind of difficult to get open. Here are some tips:
  1. Remove three T6 Screws on the bottom enclosure.
  2. Use a black nylon stick between the top and bottom enclosure at the rear about 23mm from either end to gently separate the clips holding them together. (Note you can see where the clips are in the photos below.)
  3. Make sure the eject latch is in its closed position
  4. Gently separate the top enclosure from the bottom.
