Just 'blew-up' my VCM connector
Hi,
While I was updating my LR3, I suddenly lost connection with my VCM. Together with this I started to smell the burning of electronics...
I opened up the VCM and yes, there it is. One of the resistors has been blown up (I actually think it is a Capacitor).
See the Capacitor (?) in the left top of this picture:

Who know which exact numbers are on this specific electronic part? I can't read them anymore since the part really blew up.
Hopefully with the replacement of this item I can fix my VCM again...
Who can help?
Thanks and regards,
Goswin de Rouw
PS: The VCM is from Rotunda.

Some extra info....
Ofcourse my LR3 was unable to drive when the VCM failed (because I was just updating the Transmission module) ... I had to get another VCM to re-program the module and after the calibration it all functioned after this.
I cleaned up the Electronic part and this is what I (think I) can read: A226V and 53TN ??? But I am not sure Ãf these partnumbers are correct and/or complete.
So before I solder a replacement onto the print, I really need confirmation on these numbers...
The VCM was bought in 2008 / 09.
Thanks and regards from the Netherlands,

Its definitely a capacitor, you can see its labelled C5 on the PCB. Can you get a parts list from the manufacturer ?
Capacitor values are not always critical. Having said that it appears that it has blown up really hard. Can you use a meter to trace what it is connected to? Is it across the 12 volt supply ?.

You should never argue with idiots because they will just drag you down to their level....then beat you with experience !
