Possible Cripple Cap.. Look at the pic!
 

Hello all,

I've been wondering why the range on my celica is so horrible so I did a bit of investigating.... I didn't have the cap that was the really long bridge... and I didn't have the cap on the back of the board.... so I started looking at pics online...

I found a few and noticed an extra cap on a board that looks just like mine.... I think it's a cripple cap.

I think it's a cripple because there are NO markings on the board under the cap. All the other components on the board have white outlines showing that something belongs... this cap does NOT have markings under it....

What do you all think?

I haven't cut the cap yet to see if it is a cripple... wanted a little advice first...
