Hi guys over the Christmas period I have been having a play around bringing my old speccy 48k back to life. It was missing the power supply so I used my regulated power supply at 9v and it was missing a TV out cable, so I made one up using a phono lead to rf plug. After working out the power lead was 9v positive on the outer case not inner pin the speccy booted. Although not a great picture it was working. I bought a new 3amp supply and it booted fine. I left it running for 5 mins came back and the screen had frozen. I tried rebooting it and now it seems it's in a boot loop. I have had a look around the board and I think I see a blown vishay Cap. It's 4.7uf @ 25v. If I cut the cap leaving it's prongs exposed can I just stick a 4.7uf 25v standard cap in there to test?
