no sorry...
have not found any usefull info..

but as i have heard from other board members the most capasitors are 0.100 nF (not alle are this value but most)

smd caps dont have a color code. some of the poly/electrolytic caps do though. you will have to get a capactitance meter to measure the values. it won't help measuring the resistance of it.

to get a proper reading to must remove the caps from the board - but without the proper equipment you might damage the cap when you try and remove it.

i'm busy building a cap meter - will be ready in a few weeks

funny thing with these is theres a lil screw thing, you plug in the wires, then adjust it until its 0

the wires and the PCB add more capacitance and make it inacurate unless u do this

Cap meters are an arse
