    • Rotate the motherboard 180 degrees.

    • Do not refer to the pictures in this step for proper de-soldering and soldering techniques. They are for illustration purposes only.

    • Refer to this link for proper de-soldering and soldering techniques.

    • Pull the capacitor from the other side of the circuit board once the solder is liquified.

    • To replace the capacitor, orient the negative side of the capacitor (indicated by a white stripe and a negative sign) so that it aligns with the shaded white region of the circle indicating the capacitor's position on the motherboard.

looks like that's a 220microF at 25V right ?

probably better to replace it with a similar 220microF, but with higher voltage rating.
