[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 440297, member: 4012"] The three vertical dark blue/silver components are tantalum capacitors. The cooked component appears to be a small electrolytic capacitor (polarity markings are visible on the PC board), but the value markings look to have been burnt off it. If you have a close look around the circuitry, you might find a similar but undamaged electrolytic capacitor with intact value markings that could provide a guide to a replacement for the cremated one. FYI, electrolytic capacitors typically fail eventually when the electrolyte inside them dries out, so if this one has gone, others might soon follow. :/ [/QUOTE]
