is this a blown capacitor and how do you replace it? - 08/15/21 06:27 PM
the 220 50V VTE is raised and the X in the top clicks when you press on it.
This is new to me and I guess some newer caps look like this. But it doesn't look like the others, so I have to guess it is blown?
There are no pins under it in the board. Looks like 2 tabs on each side soldered to the board?
It is in a dash cam and it started shutting off after about 2 seconds of filming.
I am guessing temp's going over 100 here might have hurt it, or just a bad cap. Is there a good replacement choice that won't die due to the heat?
Figured I would try to save it rather than spend another hundred or two for another that might die in a year.
