akoz:
this is Sterns Stars. it is not working. the guy says the problem is the thing circled. i think it is a capacitor. first would i have to replace the whole board or can i just replace the capacitor. second where can i get this??

HaRuMaN:
I would try replacing that cap first, for sure.  You can probably find replacements at Mouser or Digikey or the like.

ChadTower:

I can't think of many situations where the failure of a single midsized cap like that would take down a whole pinball machine.

You have circled an item where the battery normally resides.  Looks like a fat cap but could be an oddball battery.  Any part markings on it?
Does your board have battery corrosion near it?
If not, you can simply replace this with a mem-cap at about $5.50 each (1.5F capacitor).
