@flockofnazguls It definitely looks like a blown electrolytic capacitor- you can see the oily substance leaking around it. Since it’s a thru-hole component, it would be easy to solder and replace. Make sure to find the exact component, replace with the exact polarity and find a data sheet with the maximum temperature rating. You can use a soldering iron (a cheap Chinese one with temperature control will do) and make sure to apply flux paste before soldering 1/2

@flockofnazguls Got any pictures of the damaged component? Both sides of the circuit board

@WarnerCrocker I’m sure the replacement will somehow be even more evil than he was
