unnecessary capaciter?

i got a verge screen that the video doesn't work on so i opened it up to put the 5v thing on that one pin but the place i need to connect a wire to already has a capaciter like this:

i know nothing about capaciters so i don't know if it would mess up the 5v i need. it isn't on psone screens and they work just fine. what is it for and is it OK if i remove it?

That's just a decoupling capacitor to clean up the power line. It's not really needed, but helps a bit.

I already said what it does

but why does this have it and the original didn't? and does the power line have that much interference?

The original doesn't have it because Sony probably didn't think the screen needed it (and it doesn't). However, by adding the cap, the power line is cleaned up a LOT and this removes a ton of crossover/interference (especially when combining it with your portables). So everyone---go add it!! =)
