So I acquired a powerbook 180 from work. Unfortunately, it didn't work when I plugged it in. I opened it up, took it apart, and found a bulging capacitor. It's square, has the letters KM on it, and is set at pins labeled "D15" on the logic board near the charging port. It gets very hot when plugged in.
Any idea how I would go about fixing this or acquiring parts?

You can see there is electrolyte leaking from the part.
