105 is a common temperature rating of an electrolytic capacitor. Post a picture so we can do a better estimate.

Here is the picture

It is a polarized tantalum capacitor that explodes if it is connected backwards. It is printed 35k not 35V.
I used tantalum capacitors 50 years ago and they all blew up but none were connected backwards. All had the manufacture's name on them and if yours does then you can look up what the numbers mean.

yup, a standard 50V 1uF electrolytic cap will be just fine
Use a 105 degree temperature rated one

Thank you guys I'm going to order some and replace the old caps one of them is still a big thicker then the others.
