This is a 19" Med Res that I put into my APB. Was working great for a few minutes and then smelled some smoke.

Was able to pinpoint the source to one spot from C420 on the back of the circuit board... Is this as simple as replacing this cap or should I be looking at something else?

Thanks

Looks like a safety cap. They can suddenly fail like that. If you caught it in time, likely no other parts have been damaged and you can simply replace the failed cap with a suitable replacement one.
