/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I accidentally destroyed a specific capacitor on a board (pic relate) and so following some advice I looked up the datasheet to try to find out what capacitor the related chip would recommend...

How do I find that anywhere in this lengthy datasheet thats way over my head? There's 45 pages and I'm not seeing anything about capacitors on it anywhere for this little IDE to Sata controller chip (JM20330).

As a side question, how many of you can understand all of the complex jargon thats listed in one of these data sheets and how long did it take you to get to a point where you can read one fully and understand everything that's going on in one? I'd like to get to that level someday.
