Teapo 47uF 35v Cap replacement

[tux]

Hello all, from a newbe.
The PSU from my SGI Fuel quit working (my Fuel works fine with my spare PSU) and upon examining the PSU I noticed a very bulging aluminum electrolytic cap. I've tried to find online specs on this Teapo 47uF 35v cap, but have had no luck. Can anyone help with a link or the specs so I can find a suitable replacement? Thanks,
tux

You forgot to tell us that capacitor's position, but i suspect it is the startup capacitor for the controller. In that case, you can use pretty much anything in that place, it does not take part in the compensation scheme or see significant load current, so its ESR does not matter. As long as you use a good brand (Rubycon, Nichicon, Panasonic, Chemi-con), and rated at 105C you'll be fine.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Attached is a picture with the cap in the upper board circled in red. The cap is right below a driver transformer and what looks to me like a couple of rectifiers or switching transistors.

You can order a replacement here:

You might consider replacing all the caps (with the exception of the large 450V one), since one cap has failed, it's a sign that the other's may be near the end of their life.
