1. Get your meter, measure to see if the capacitor is in shorts(it normaly wouldnt but its in a circuit and i cant tell).
2. Just remove it and try to power it on, one capacitor wont make the diffence.
if the removed/burnt capacitor conducts current it is most probably the one causing the faultt

I took that capacitor off because I didnt realize that it had to be off the board to check capacitance.   23.61uF was the result.

I will try and power up the board with out it.  I thought that removing it would be enough as well, thanks for reenforcing that.

For what its worth, the bad cap was still conducting current across.
