keith1200rs said:The problem is, without knowing what the instrument is supposed to do it is impossible to diagnose the fault remotely. With an oscilloscope and some idea of what it is supposed to do it might be possible, but remotely, I don't think so.
The unidentified part may be a capacitor, as mentioned by a couple of other people. In that case it will read open circuit on a multimeter. If you have a multimeter which has a capacitance range you could try that.
What does the connector normally connected to? Is it an output or input? What signal would you expect on it?

FvM said:Do you think the said part is defective? Most likely it isn't. Because the connector input is open, you can easily check it with
a capacitance meter. I'm also rather sure, that it's a tubular ceramic capacitor.
pauloynski said:As posted by FvM and others it is probably a tubular ceramic capacitor. Also, I think that FvM was pointing out that since the connector is open (there is no current path to one side of the "capacitor") you can measure it without removing it from the circuit.

Agreed. And as mentioned before by other people, maybe 4.7nF is a likely value. You need a capacitance meter (or just swap if for a new 4.7nF capacitor and see what happens).
