Take a look at the "motor-driver" chip (top left) , it is common problem for this PCB.

Those four components are (C)apacitors. Their circuit references are Cxx.
In any case it doesn't make any sense to have two TVS diodes connected in parallel, as is the case with the two "DS6R" parts.
The values of C475 and C225 are probably 4.7uF (= 47 x 10^5 pF) and 2.2uF, respectively.
There appears to be a 2.3A fuse (F1) above the DS6R capacitors.
There also appears to be a linear voltage regulator (VR1) above the jumper block.
