Replacing capacitor in powersupply for satelitte receiver

[ismarhadzia]

I have 68uF at 400V that went bad and also have new 100uF 400V handy.
Will I be OK if I do this repolacement?

fine - better than the original.

i hope it's all you need, it's rare for those to fail - but when they do you often have other parts damaged afterwards.

Great, thanks for the response. There was visible problem, one of the leads was disconnected from the capacitor and the top was bulged. I will do install of new one tonight.
