I use a pair of Mackie MR8 Mk2 studio monitors for my computer speakers. One began to suddenly make a very loud buzz and no audio output. They were turned on but not playing music when the buzzing began. I opened them up and the only thing I could see visually wrong was a bulge on top of one of the caps. It is labeled 35v 3300μf with the word "IMAGINE". The sound happens with no signal applied so I know it is not an upstream issue. I am fairly new to electronic repairs so I'm not sure this is the problem or if I can fix this but any help would be appreciated. I can probably add pics if that might help. And if this is the wrong forum, mods, feel free to move. Thanks.

Best place to get caps? I looked around briefly and don't see 3300μf caps anywhere. Is this an obscure number or am I just not looking hard enough?
Not ebay !
Look for reputable dealers online.
If you cant get 3300uf a 4700uf might physically fit.
Yes, they're fine. Be sure to get 35V, and that the leads will fit the board.
Be careful not to damage the board when desoldering.
