capacitor values with pic

[jjchuk]

If any one could help me.i would be very grateful.
I have an LG Model L1511s LCD monitor.
The backlight inverter has a burnt capacitor I cannot find the a used inverter. The capacitor is blue and marked in 3 lines.
47k - I know k=+ or - 10%
3kv=3000volts
tdk=manufacturer
I think the 47 equals 47pf, but I am confused to what the equivalant "uf" value would be.
I would be thankful for any help.

As I recall you would move the value over 6 places
So it would = .000047 Uf

It doesn't really matter, as a 47pF capacitor will always be labelled as such, it wouldn't ever be labelled in uF.

As a matter of interest, uf is 10 to the minus 6, nF is 10 to the minus 9, and pF is 10 to the minus 12.

Interesting it's made by TDK though?, I've never seen any TDK capacitors, only inductors.

I'm presuming the capacitor is either split, or has a hole in the side?, it's a common failure mode for those small high-voltage capacitors.
