I have a lot of 25v 470uf caps at hand and wanted to know if it would do any harm in replacing the blown cap with this type. The pcb specifies 10v 1000uf!
You can change the voltage rating to a higher one without compromizing the circuit. You can not lower the value however. In other words, using a 1000uF cap rated at 16V would be OK. The short answer is no, you can not use the extra caps you have unless you put 3 of them in series. (I doubt you have the space for that.)
