Can you help me identify this capacitor?

[ergalthema]

This is on a Samsung TV that stopped working. Looks like I should be able to just replace this cap:

Can you tell me what specs I need to look for? If you could link me to a specific product, that would be awesome.

Any other info about replacing the cap would be great. I replaced a cap on a powered speaker. The soldering went well. But I'm still pretty novice with this stuff. So, I might not know something basic. Like, anything I need to do to avoid getting shocked? I plan on leaving it unplugged for hours before I remove the pin connections and remove the board.

Are there any places besides Radio Shack that I could pick up this cap?

Pretty sure I ordered my last caps from DigiKey, so I guess I'll do that if there are no stores that sell them.

You can use Panasonic FM series or FR series for the replacement, just get the one that the dimension (Dia and height) will fit the board. FM and FR are what I use for repair, I get them from DIGIKEY, you should at least replace ALL those cap in the secondary side.
Radioshack sells general purpose cap, you need 105c LOW ESR type.

There is no RadioShack near me. I don't know how to be sure I'm getting the correct size online.

If you googled panasonic FR or FM you'd just about be there including links for mouser or digikey.

Things to watch for, physical size, voltage, temp. You can go up in voltage provided it'll still fit .

I think there were some models where 10V caps were in and may have been borderline, often a 16V will fit.

These are polarised devices so pay attention to the negative and where it goes. Traditionally the white band and the lead that is cut shorter is negative, on the boards a white marker or white hatched area is negative but check it out as you disassemble or take a photo or 2 before you start.

It's rare but every now and then I've read of someone who rips all the caps out and then realises they're all different values and ratings ending up not knowing what went where.

There are a lot of options in those links. I don't see sizes listed, and I'm still not sure what sizes I would need anyway.

I'm wondering if this would be better for me:

Well, a friend of my parents had an extra 25V 1000uF 105º cap. I switched it out and the TV works!

If it fails again soon, I'll replace all the caps.
