Hey EEVBlog Forum,
I am a student and electronics hobbyist, i have the most basic knowledge in electronics, but for this I might need some help from you.
A while ago my old HP 1222A Oscilloscope stopped working, i checked the fuse and it was blown, i didn't have the right fuse so i set it aside for a while but now I am making an attempt to repair it.
Before installing a new fuse i took the case off to see if anything was visibly broken, and indeed there was!
A strange looking cap right next to the transformer and the voltage selector spew out all its guts.
In addition to the faulty cap, i messed up when trying to unsolder this thing, i pulled out a contact from the voltage selector switch that was solderd to the cap and a couple of other wires.
I am sure I can just bodge repair that on the backside, but i am unsure where to place the jumper.
I attached pictures of everything, also one thing i noticed, it has settings for 100, 120, 220 and 240 volts.
I live in Germany where we have a voltage of 230V, when i got it it was set to 220V i hope this is still in range (maybe that's why the cap blew?).
I hope you can help me place that jumper and finding a replacement cap, i googled the number on it but these kind of caps are unknown to me.
Also, can I ignore the possibility that something different might be broken or caused the fault and just install a new cap? My best guess is that it's just the age that made it faulty.
