C311

Only the 3rd time.

Between standby and ground, should be a .001 to .01uF cap.

I have found in my house a 2KV capacitor.
Couldn't I use this one istead of the 500V one?

euhm. Prob not. Rather large difference

actually thats fine. voltage ratings on caps are like watt ratings on resistors. you'll blow it if its too low but it dosent change how it works.

Now It's working as if I haven't opened.

Thank you everyone for the help.

P.S.: I have used a 0.01ÂµF 2KV capacitor. I have found him on an old dial up modem that I had here.
