With a view to bringing it back for the dead I thought I'd have a look inside the case for anything obvious. Well, I found this.

know these things aren't normally worth attempting to repair but because TiVo have just about giving up supporting new Freeview boxes for the TiVo, I'd like to repair it if possible. I'm no expert in this field but would I be right in assuming that capacitor in the centre of the picture isn't right?
If it is U/S, would it be a likely cause of the symptoms? It has 2200 microF, 10V, HD(M), 105C and HD243 printed on it.
Would a replacement be easy to source and where would be the best place to source just one capacitor like this?
TIA
