It does not appear to be shorted across the 2 pins of the cap. The 2 outside contacts of the mosfet seem to have continuity though.
    1) That cap has to be at least 1KV rating, more likely that it is 220pF 1KV but I would use 2KV since this is commonly failed cap.
    2) What is the exact resistance do you get when measure between Source and Drain pin? You do know what each pin of the MOSFET is correct?
    3) Did you check the Source pin resistor as I suggested?

    That is a snubber cap connected in parallel with Sourde and Drain pin of the MOSFET. Can you still read what is printed on the cap?
    You also need to check the Low Ohms resistor connected between the Hot side circuit ground and the Source pin of the MOSFET to make sure it is not blown open circuit when that cap shorted out, if that resistor is blown the SMPS IC that drives the MOSFET can be damaged also.
    Did you check the resistance between Source and Drain pin of the MOSFET after removing the blown cap?

    see if its shorted and check whatever its connected across ..might be a fet .

    Ego 56V battery charger dead

    I would like to try to repair an Ego brand standard 56V battery charger. The model number is CH2100.
    There is a brief YouTube video on it here:
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2cYAKUuVgUE

    The charger appears to be completely dead. Upon disassembly I found the glass fuse is ok. The only visible damage was a completely blown ceramic capacitor behind the two largest caps.

    I am attaching a few photos with arrows to the location of the blown component.
    I'm hoping for some suggestions as to what might have caused the cap to blow and how to troubleshoot further.

    ISL88739AHRZ ISL88739 Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet
    by Document Archive
    The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
    configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
    charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
    4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
    the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
    the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
    charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
    bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.
    NVDC charger configuration...

    Highly Integrated Narrow VDC Battery Charger for Notebook Computers

    The ISL6257HRZ ISL6257HRZ-T is a highly integrated battery charger controller
    for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. ISL6257 is designed for
    Narrow VDC applications where the system power source is
    either the battery pack or the regulated output of the charger.
    This makes the max voltage to the system equal to the max
    battery voltage instead of the max adapter voltage. Operating
    at lower system voltage can improve...

    how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
    by flat-earther
    I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
    So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

    but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
    So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

    How can I prevent...

    Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
    by Bowline
    My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

    Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

    My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
    The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
    I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

    Bauer tool battery pack charging with a HERCULES charger modification
    by sam_sam_sam
    The Bauer power tool battery charger just has to many issues with the charger over heating because I several HERCULES Hercules battery chargers that are 3 amp charge and because they have gone on quite a few times over the years before they came out with the fan cooling battery charger I going to modify one so I can charge Bauer battery packs faster than the crape battery charger that they have

    Here is how this modification is going to be done I taking a 1.5 amp hour battery enclosure and gutting it removing the battery cells and replacing some Ryobi 1.5 amp hour battery pack that...
