I have a controller for an electric throw blanket that I would like to repair, but I have no experience soldering on boards

You can see at bottom left a yellow box and a resistor. Something has burnt out in this area, and likely both will need to be replaced at a minimum

I would also need help identifying parts. The yellow box is embossed ‘Tenta’ and has printed on the side ‘TC MEX/TENTAMKP 0.1 uf 275VAC’ with some other markings obscured or damaged

Is this an achievable project?

    Awesome thanks for that. I think it’s worth doing once, it it breaks again I’ll take the hint, and I’ll also make sure I plug it in outside on an extension

      Good luck, and be careful. In any case it would probably be a fun new experience - getting components, soldering them, and then either you get a working blanket or some tiny very dangerous fireworks :)
