ok so i made a lego case that I didnt like cus it kept falling apart and now this capacitor broke off can I solder one on with the same rating or am i done?

Just need to make sure the capacitance value is the same, the voltage needs to be equal or better. Keep polarity in mind as well.

Why not solder back on the one that came off?

It probably tore off at least one of the metal pads. See where you can tap the PCB to gain the same connection. You may benefit from using a regular legged capacitor for this fix.

It'll probably work without that cap, y'know. It just does some power filtering.
