C12 is the same rating as C10 and C11 over to the left. Its just a simple capacitor. You can use any thats rated the same as it is. It doesnt have to look like that one. As for the rest of the repairs dont try to repair the traces, they are much to hard to fix on the board. Just get some very thin solid copper wire wrap wire and use it to jumper between the bad spots.

Thanks for the information guys:)

Would you say individual wires from an ethernet cable be suitable for the bypass wiring ?


Yeah that will work as long as your using a single strand and not multiple strands. Also you will want to use something like conformal coating or epoxy to cover it up. You don't want bare wires touching other things. I prefer to use wire wrap wire since its very thing and covered with insolation.
