If all that happened was that the cap's legs snapped off and there is no land damage. You could install a new cap and you may be good to go. IMPORTANT... If you try this take the cap to a electronic supply store. Get the EXACT match to the broken cap. There should be numbers on the cap ex. 1000Uf 100V. the store clerk will use this to cross ref a new one for you. Also the cap needs to be installed a certain way. It has a postive and neg lead. next to one of the holes where the cap was there will be a small + sign that's the postive lead. If you have a friend that knows electronics have him to solder it in for you.
Hope it works out.
