I can only read 0.0MFD, which doesn't make sense. Datasheet values I
have are 8MFD for 80W, and 13MFD for 125W, but the capacitor value
doesn't matter at all for correct operation, only for power factor
correction of the supply current drawn.


FWIW, I think there are traces of a number to the left of the first zero
- ****ing around with the contrast on the image, I think it's most likely
a 4, but it's very hard to tell with a high degree of certainty.
