I was reading about the dangers of not replacing PSU capacitors on PowerBook duos, and today I get my one chance to go by capacitors so I need schematics for the 210

and... they dont exist 😉 at least not in the wild right now.

Oh ok, also one more thing I was looking for a capacitor for my duo dock (100uf 35volt) however I could only find one that has theseSpecs (100uf 25volt) will that work or will I release the magic smoke

For the voltage you generally need to go to higher voltage not lower if you can't find exact match.

So I should not install the cap I bought?

Do not install it. When doing cap replacements, match the uF rating, voltage rating should be equal to or higher than the original.
Also pay attention to temperature ratings, often capacitance values will change drastically if the temperature goes outside the rated range.
