I will facilitate the work, my little friend your cap is this (obviously i cut 1 trace to made the capacitor measurement and reconnected to make the voltage measurement): 2.2uf at 100v
WAUW!

I can't thank you enough isopropilick! I measured the cap below (which kinda looks the same as the original cap). This gives me the following result: 1.73uF (using a cheap meter). Still this is one of the caps which looked similar at the left bottom in the picture and NOT, I repeat NOT, the original.

Nevertheless, I'm 100% more sure about your measurement, because of the following points:
- You got a FLUKE multimeter
- You are measuring the original / right capacitor, the one that is broken at my side!
Maybe you want to send a nice high detailed photo near the capacitor, so I can see how I need to solder it back again --> I mean over here the
top layer PCB also a burned away

Thanks.
==========================
Ps.
I also measured the diodes near to the broken cap. Diode voltage: 0.365V (and the other-way-around: 'LO' as expected). And 4 MOhm resistant at one way and 'LO' to other-way. Can somebody agree with me, that the diode is atleast still OK?
Ps. ps. I'm also interested how you measured the voltage (100V) of the cap? The set-up and multimeter settings.
btw clean that burned spot with IPA
I ordered IPA

thx for the hint, still I don't know how easy it is to clean. It's not flux what you are seeing, but burned capacitor liquid.
