I have an Extron Emotia, the original version. I'm including an image below for reference.
I noticed the output picture was very off, practically blown out with brightness sometimes, other times, gray and muted. I opened the unit up and saw that right in the center of the board there is a ceramic disc capacitor, slightly smaller than a dime in diameter, cracked down the center. Its next to a small tube capacitor and between two chips labeled "Bt." It appears to have been coated in a blue plastic at one point as this coating is visible at its base. Maybe when it cracked the protective coating came off? Below is a picture I took with my iPhone. You can see the cap in the center:
I've been in contact with Extron and, while they've been very helpful, they no longer have sufficient documentation on what replacement capacitor I would need to make the repair.
I'd like to ask that if anyone has this Emotia model, to please open it up, locate the part in question, and let me know what the markings/information is on the capacitor. This would be extremely helpful for me to get a replacement. Since the coating is gone on the cap, so is the info I need to get the right part.
These units are very easy to open. You just remove four screws on the sides and lift up the lid, being careful not to pull on any of the RGBs cables in the back. I'm including two additional pictures below that have the ceramic disc capacitor circled.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on this matter.
Thank you in advance.
