Hi all.
I've got a set of speakers called Creative Gigaworks S750 and they've gone out with a bang. When they work they are a truly fantactic piece of kit and I'd love to be able to fix em. I don't like throwing expensive stuff away when it might still be fixable. It would be such a waste.
The in-built fuse went and I changed that for another only to have that go too. I've taken the sub apart because that's where the amp is and where the flases were coming from and I've found a smokey part on the PCB. Nothing else appears to be smokey or fried. I think it's a ceramic disc capacitor but I'm not sure. See what you think. This is what it says on it:
sec 471k
sb 250v~x1y1
400v~c
And it's blue with two terminals.
Here's a pic of one from another forum. It's the one encircled in red at top right:

I have three questions really:
1. If I replace it will it just blow again like the fuse did?
2. So could it be something else causing it to break?
3. Where can I get one from? I ask this because I found a few sites that sell electronic components but I'm at a loss as to what to search for. A direct link to the actual product would be fantastic.
Also I'd love to understand what it is and what the heck 'sec 471k sb 250v~x1y1 400v~c' means lol
Regards,
Rafael
