#74155 Hey guys & girls :)

I just received another shipment of ESP-01 Modules but unfortunately one of them is broken :(

There's a part missing right next to the SoC, from looking at the other modules I'd say it's a capacitor.
Please check the attached PNG to see the damaged part! sorry for low quality

this wikipedia picture has a lot better quality:

the big brown capacitor to the lower left of the ESP8266 chip

Any ideas? i found some schematics but no corresponding layout, so it's hard to tell which capacitor it is. Would really like to repair that little guy, would be a waste to throw it out because of a missing capacitor.
