HOW TO: Quark Mod / LSP Conversion *PIC OVERLOAD WARNING*

I was going to suggest checking with digikey for a replacement too. It actually looks like it would be pretty easy to replace too. Just don't try to go hacking on it with a radio shack stick iron. You'll want to use a good soldering station with a small chisel tip. If you know someone with a nice Hakko or Metcal or something like that, it won't take long to do.

Of course, all of this is assuming that nothing else cooked.

What are you talking about, that is a CERAMIC capacitor, not a tantalum. Tantulum's are black with lettering on them usually. Who said a short wouldn't kill them?

You should figure out how much work this will be, and if you need to buy anything expensive such a good soldering station and decide whether it's worth it. Or get a hold of S&T to see if they can help?

Replacing this thing will be no easy task, your circuit is permanently attatched to the case...
