Is it that EC5 capacitor?? If so, if you can find the numbers on it, you can order one and replace it for almost nothing. The soldering iron was like $15, and the capacitors were like $2
I had a Samsung TV that I did that with, and it worked for another 5-6 years.
Nothing really to lose trying it.
ZR1 blew out..
Most likely shorted out in the process of blowing out which have a chain effect of burning up the circuit board foil pattern under it until the fuse blew out.
ZR1 is a "MOV" which is for surge protection.
Fair chance the unit took a voltage spike, MOV gave it's life but the process could have damaged other items while doing so.
Another possible culprit for taking out ZR1 is a generator that has poor voltage regulation, or is producing power with voltage spikes in it.
