Okay, I've got a Dr. Who that has been sitting in the basement for a couple of years. Decided yesterday to turn it on and see what happened... Got the "factory settings restored", which I expected, as the batteries haven't been touched. Also, as I was going through the tests, the machine would keep resetting. I'm guessing something is taking down the 5v, but as I was doing a quick check on stuff, there was a sudden sparking over by the audio board/fliptronics board area. Quickly turned it off, and investigated to find this on the audio board:
C26 is exploderated! Any ideas what I should be checking out next?
-Brian, off to find the correct schematics for the audio board.

It appears to be... Doesn't look like an electrolytic or poly. Should I just replace it and continue with my reset troubleshooting then? Should I stay with tantalum or switch to something else?

Thanks everyone,
I'll replace those caps and continue with my reset issues.

New tantalum caps arrived today. I'll replace them later this week and then continue with troubleshooting the 5V. Thanks!
