never had one of these, that's a capacitor, right? also don't know what capacitance this is, tried searching but came up short

edit: OK, since it's 1000V I guess this isn't electronics, askelectrics doesn't exist yet?

edit 2: top view

edit 3: the whole mess

The Yellow "Carlo DMB" is a capacitor, yes. The 1000V marking tells you it can be charged up to 1000 Volts!!! That can be dangerous!

For me it looked burned from the outside, but its hard to tell from the picture. Looks like something went very hot around it.

added top view in OP, all the other components that looked charred got cleaned up with a brush, this is the only one which looked damaged. currently waiting for the TV to empty all the capacitors before I attempt to remove the board.
