As long as the cap is the proper voltage rating, 100V I think, should be ok.
I've seen a few where the 2.2 cap was the only problem. As far as replacing
all the components that have been known to fail, that's a matter of personal
preference. Some techs will and some won't. I normally replace only the
parts that I find bad.

The only thing I can find bad on this is C4102(?)  the 2.2 cap.
First, is it OK to use any 105 degree cap, even though it is much smaller?
Second, For reliability, should I also replace the rest of the parts in this
regulator circuit and the
chopper?
This set was in another shop about a year ago for a new HOT.
I have not seen one of these where just one cap caused  dead symptom..
Customer stated, before it died, the power button would have no effect, but
the volume buttons, channel
buttons and menu would all have erratic functions, some times turning the
set on/off, or sending the wrong
command.
They don't have the remote for this, so only symptom is from pressing the
buttons on the front control.
The front controls seem to be working for me.
This is a weird one...anything I should do before delivering this set, with
the REG circuit or front
controls?
Thank you.
