  14. what happened was an explosion of the replacement capacitor. i don't
  15. know if this did any other damage.
  16.  
  17. i replaced the stock 4.7uf 25v electrolytic non-polarizing capacitor
  18. with a 4.7uf 63v electrolytic non-polarizing capacitor. it was of a
  19. very small size, so i was suspicious.
  20.  
  21. is there any safe replacement?
  22.  
  23. has anyone had the same experience?
  24.  
  25. what is the chance that i did other damage when the capacitor
  26. exploded?
