Repair guides and disassembly information for the MacBook Pro 16'' released in November of 2019. Model A2141, EMC 3347.

Can someone provide information on this blown component?

Obviously blown. No indication of life, just out of warranty.

Is this a required component?

If so, where could I find an equivalent replacement?

Thank you very much!

Just to add to the great answer provided by my colleague @tech_ni The component in question is reference designator C6587 which is a 33µF 16V 20% Tant-Poly capacitor in a B3-1 case. It's a bit hard to find due to the B3 case. Based on the dimension of that case, you should find a suitable replacement on here under the B 16V 33UF 336C tab. Or, you could find a close match (not an exact match ;-) just measure the solder pads on your board and use Mouser.com or Digikey.com to find a case that will fit those dimensions.

I ended up removing the cap and it’s been working pretty flawlessly. I could order a new one but is it truly necessary? Am I risking the power rail? Thank you very much for the clarification.

@alishalash "is it truly necessary" no, since it shows yours is working. However, I always believe that the people that design these devices are so much smarter than I am. I don't think they would just add it for no reason. I would replace it. If for nothing else but a peace of mind :-)

its a capacitor, remove it and it should work fine but i would suggest replacing it after testing if it works
