My tv had some some issues with the dull images and was turning off after some time. I opened it and found that the mains supply filtering capacitor was dead. As of lockdown i can't get the replacement but i have some power supply board from where i can get a capacitor.
The capacitor on the TV power supply is 100uf 500v, but i have two 330uf 200v capacitor, one 680uf 200v and ten 330uf 400WV.
The question is Which one should i replace.

In desperation you could use 3 of the 330uF in series (= 110uF which is near enough). They would have a total voltage rating of 1200V, more than enough.
The problem is they would need equalising resistors to ensure they share the voltage equally. See the attached PDF.

The 500V rating may obey for a 240VAC mains; but if you live in a 120VAC location, you may get by replacing it on a lower voltage rating like the 400V.
