I've had this happen twice now, once it happened in shipping and once when my son knocked a card of my desk. Its not likely you'll find someone to do it for you and its near impossible to get a replacement cap if you've lost the original.
Sorry, but unless you have the original cap in good shape, you're SOL and even if you do getting someone to put it back on won't be easy. The places I called refused the work even though I said it dosen't matter if they fry the card.
The capacitors usually have ratings on them. Make sure that you have the right capacitance and voltage. Use a soldering iron and remove the capacitor. Bring that to radio shack and cross your fingers and wish they have one with the same ratings.
