Those components are capacitors. You can get a replacement of the same size.

Try Radio Shack or Newark Electronics (www.newark.com/)

Dont get it from radio shack! They have cheap caps and PC equipment uses good ones. No you want to get one with the same specs but yet a good cap! Try any online electronics store. You will know if it is a good one by the price. I used to make guitar effects (rack components) from a book called "electronic projects for musicians." The first one I built was a small pre-amp noise gate. This thing hummed so bad it was terible. Did some rebuilding with Moyer's electronics parts and low and behold the humm went away. It was cheapy IC's and caps that made it happen. BUilt a dif. project same prob! Replaced Radio shack parts again and humm went away! You see there is something called a tolerance rateing. Most avg. parts are like 10% within rateing. But cheap ones can fluctuate between 15%-10% which causes prob.s. Go with some good caps when it comes to pc parts trust me.

Never mind about Radio shack anyhow, those are metal caps not electrolitic or mylar! You wont find those at Radio Shack in any given size. Just in the grab bag things they have and who knows if it will have the right size. No you will ahve to go to local electronics repair shop and have them order it for you or get off net. Heres a tip though before you start. Caps are sensitive to heat,very sensitive when you are talking about that kind. So use a soldering iron that is 10-15watts only and only heat it as long as possible, if the board is looking hot where soldering let it cool then reheat some. The soldered joints should be shiney when heated through right. If it looks foggy reheat some as this can be a COLD solder joint. May work now but give prob.s later. Hope that helped some!

problem is i dont specificically know what exact part im looking for :(

i know it's a metal cap, but i dont know it's specs.
plus i believe it must be installed in a proper direction, i'm unsure as to which direction the old one was in :(

whatta mess!
