Nov 5, 2017 at 1:06 comment added Trevor_G google smt electrolytic capacitor then click on images. You will see both kinds ( and a lot of other crap) Good luck with the repair though/
Nov 5, 2017 at 1:01 comment added user167924 Well, I'll take your word for it. I don't know much about hardware. But I'll replace it anyways, it's cheap and easy.
Nov 5, 2017 at 1:00 comment added Trevor_G The inductor beneath it looks like it has been cooking though
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:59 comment added Trevor_G Daniel it depends on the cap, some are printed right on the metal, others have a shrink wrap film on them. that's the seam lines you are seeing.
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:58 comment added user167924 Not on these capacitors. Because these are layered with a plastic cap, you can't see the marking because it is underneath. If you look on the first image, there is a similar capacitor without the marking. Furthermore, the markings are inwards, not outwards like this capacitor. Which leads me to believe it's swollen
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:55 comment added Trevor_G Daniel that is a normal marking on those devices... bing.com/images/… It's part of the manufacturing process
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:51 comment added user167924 It's swollen, you can see the "x" mark on top of it aswell.
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:48 comment added Trevor_G "As you can see from the images, this capacitor needs replacement" you can? what makes you think that?

Nov 5, 2017 at 0:41 comment added Janka SMT = Surface mounted technology. SMD = Surface mounted device. It's the same.
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:40 comment added user167924 Do you mean SMD? @Jan Dorniak
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:39 comment added Dave Tweed Furthermore, it's a surface-mount capacitor. The tips of the leads that you see on the component side of the board are a very small part of what is soldered. To properly replace it, you need to be able to heat the board from both sides in an SMT rework station.
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:39 comment added Janka You simply desolder the leads . They are actually square-shaped wires which lead under the can horizontally, so desoldering can be a bit tricky. The support belongs to the part, you remove it along with the can.
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:38 comment added jaskij I cant help you with values but the case is a typical SMT electrolityc cap
Nov 5, 2017 at 0:37 comment added Janka That's a 33µF, 100V cap. The 32aJ marking denotes the type as specified in the factory. You have to consult the datasheet to find out what it means. It does not mean Joule.
