  All I need to know is what a 101J cap is.

101J should mean 100 picofarads.  Ceramic capacitors are generally coded
like RN55 resistors i. e. the last digit of the number indicates the number
of zeros that follow the preceding digits to make the capacitance value in
picofarads.  Thus, "100" means ten followed by no zeros or ten picofarads.
"225" means 22 followed by five zeros or 2.2 microfarads.  The letter indicates
tolerance. J=5%.

A 100pF capacitor should cost about a dime.  Seems a heckuva lot cheaper than
getting a new computer...
