    Specific request for help on replacing a blown capacitor in my Organ.

    So I purchased this vintage organ at a thrift store, and I really love it.
    Unfortunately, I accidentally left it running without an amp plugged in, and apparently this has caused a capacitor to blow.
    I'll start off by saying I have very minimal knowledge about electronics. I've done some basic modifying of electronics, so I have basic soldering knowledge, but that's about it.
    I've read through a lot of the stickies on the forum, and have learned quite a bit. Although, I still have some questions.
    The capacitor has a capacitance of .05 uF and a voltage rating of 600wv. I'm assuming I'll have to look for something with .047uF capacitance

    Link to photos:

    In the pictures, you should see two 1/4" output jacks. I initially didn't know what went wrong. The guts of the capacitor were touching one of the output jacks, causing it to short out and not produce sound. I removed it, and now there is sound. I have not turned it on since, in fear of damaging it further.

    In summary, I'm pretty sure I know what kind of capacitor to buy. I'm just unsure how to solder it. One side remained in tact, so I can use that for a reference, but I'm unsure where to solder the other side.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    The photos aren't the best, I can supply more if needed.
    Thanks!

    looks like it is an across the line cap.you can snip it out for a test.those across the line and line to ground caps must be replaced with proper x and y rated parts.

      Blown capacitor repair on MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC
      by MeetingIncapable
      Hello,

      I am new to repairing computer electronics, so excuse any mistakes I make.

      A friend of mine had a broken graphics card (MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC) and gave it to me. It does not power on or show any signs of life.
      I identified what looks like the remains of a blown capacitor at the bottom of the board (see picture).

      I wanted to replace the capacitor, but I have two questions:
      • Does this repair have a chance of working? or is a blown capacitor a sign something else is wrong?
      • How do I determine the rating/value of this capacitor? or something
      ...

      First of all, I'd like to mention that I'm a novice when it comes to laptop repair, although I do have some experience with soldering.
      One day, my laptop experienced a severe stutter, and after rebooting, it failed to boot into Windows. I decided to disassemble it and found that the PL900 component was blown. Later, I came across a post (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...error%E2%80%99) with the same problem, where...

      RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
      by Prolog
      Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

      I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

      I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
      (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

      I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

      If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
      by chth96
      I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
      Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
      It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
      So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
      I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

      How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
      by chth96
      I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
      I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

      And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
      I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...
