It's a 25uF 25V capacitor. Radio Shack may have a replacement, but a real electronics store certainly will.
Capacitors tend not to explode without external cause so you'll need to fix that issue first. |

Do you know some LINKs of STANDARD Value of Capacitance/ Resistance of Capacitor & Resistor respectively ??
(i.e. Table of Standard value)
Thank you |

Hi Juan,
You and I are on opposite sides of the world and we have completely different standards of living.
I can buy just about anything and just about everything is available for me. I don't think that everything is available for you.
I use 5% carbon film and metal film resistors and 5% metalized plastic film capacitors. They have a list of values available.
Look at the website of your favourite electronics parts distributor to see what values they have available. |

Hi Audioguru
That's right.. you are so Lucky to live in a first world country.
But I can say that I am still fortunate.. even I can't buy just about anything and just about everything is available for me.
You know why?
It's SIMPLE..
In spite of all obstacle that blocked our ways,
-- We are still seeking, trying, & persevere to achive our dreams.
Like me.. I am an undergraduate in College. I don't even have my own Computer to search & acquire new knowledge that the internet can offer.
Regardless of that I just 'rent' a PC to "feed my starving mind".
And ask some question in a forum (like this) & answered by generous members that really contribute a lot in a needy person like me.
That's why I really treasure the time communicating with you guys.
Thank you.

There is a surplus electronics parts store near my home. They buy left-over parts from products manufacturers and sell them at very low prices.
I bought some name-brand very small switching power supplies that were made for modems. The output is 5V at up to 2A and they sold for almost nothing. |
