Terrific!
You need to do a Tim Allen chest pound!

But why was the capacitor $40? Kind of related, but a few years ago we had a Phillips brand (yes again) DVD player that just quit. Of course, DVD players are near obsolete and could have just purchased a nice BluRay player for pittance but I wanted to know what culprit fried out. I simply typed in a search engine the Philips model number and issue, sure enough my solution was answered. The instructions of repair (including how to solder...LOL), identified the specific capacitor (cost 70 cents from Radio Shack), 30 minutes of tinker time was all it needed.
