| Better change that capacitor. Just go to radio shack and get this. Its not a 25 volt but voltage doesn't matter as long as it's more than the voltage it's connected to. If they don't have this one in stock you can also go with a 50 volt if it's small enough to fit into the location. They are polarized so make sure you install it correctly (-/+).
