Thanks. I had no idea that tantalum capacitors had polarity though, I
thought that was only electrolytics. The board has "+" markings for
electrolytics, but none for the tantalum ones. Are you sure they have
polarity?
Regards
Rob

224 usually means 22 and 4 zeroes in picofarads. Meaning 0.22 microfarads.
Voltage is not critical as long as it's bigger than my he power supply
voltage.
Make sure you put the new one in the right way
around.

In investigating the fault on my H7874 PSU I desoldered a tantalum
capacitor which I have broken in the desoldering process. I can't tell
its value, the markings are 224 E5Z on one side and 038 ASF on the other
side.
