HDR FOX T2 with blown capacitor?

[SteveH]

My HDR power supply has blown a capacitor (I think - see centre of picture). I assume that this is easy to replace if you know what you are doing?

Any ideas about what sort it is so that I can get it replaced? Any help gratefully received.

So... you didn't do any research at all before posting? https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/blown-capacitor-psu-repair.10040/

It's not like it was an old thread.

Yes I did do some research (I found this forum) but obviously not enough. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the link you provided. It does appear to be the same problem and provides circuit diagrams. I am not an electronics engineer, just someone who hates throwing thigs away when they stop working. I will get it looked at by someone who does know what they are doing!

Especially for a component that costs less than 20p.

Good idea. It's easy for someone with the kit, the eyesight and knows how to do it safely.
Do let us know how you get on.
