What are you talking about, that is a CERAMIC capacitor, not a tantalum. Tantulum's are black with lettering on them usually. Who said a short wouldn't kill them?

You should figure out how much work this will be, and if you need to buy anything expensive such a good soldering station and decide whether it's worth it. Or get a hold of S&T to see if they can help?

Replacing this thing will be no easy task, your circuit is permanently attatched to the case...
