Yes, that cap does look scorched. Opened it in pic program and brightened it up.
Although the scorched cap would indicate another problem, the main course of action with these is to replace the 10 inverter board caps first. They are/can be non-bloat fails. With luck, they didn't take out the FETs.
Don't get any fancier than the originals, spec wise. In other words, if PW or FC are close, use them. Don't go to an FM or KZE quality just because they are better specs. You'll may end up with the same problem or creating a new one. That chip seems to be -very- picky (sensitive). I'd like to find a way to "fool" it long enough to get good readings.
