While trying to repair an LCD monitor, I have accidentally ripped the following capacitor off the circuit board. Here is a rough drawing of it:
It is a small silver round cap, with two leads and a rubber insulator underneat. Clearly it's a 25V capacitor... can anyone tell from the marking what the value of the capacitance is?
Thanks!

100 uF / 25V !
Make sure you didn't roip the pcb pads off btw. it's quite likely you may have ! In which case you're going to have to improvise a repair.

Thanks guys! I didn't rip the pads off. Anything wrong with replacing this with a 100 uF electrolytic?
Dan
have !
It *is* a 100uF electrolytic ! A leaded type may be a bit bigger though.
Graham
Thanks! That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure. (I'm enough of a noob to not know this, but I have enough experience to be dangerous to myself :-p)
Dan
Sorry it wasn't more obvious but I assumed you'd realise by the size of the part. SMD electrolyyics look a bit different to their leaded cousins.

In case it's not obvious - you have to get the polarity right.
Ed
That much I know! I know about electrolytics, just not the surface-mount variety. Thanks guys.
