It's on a ribbon, which makes soldering very difficult. Needs expert.
If it's faulty, measuring won't tell you replacement. It may be unmarked and there is no schematic.
You'd need to desolder and measure one from a good model (and risk destroying it). Also it might be a symptom of a fault elsewhere unless it's a capacitor.
If it's a decoupling capacitor then 100nF might do. If it's something else then the correct value is needed.
It sounds like it was a faulty decoupling capacitor.
