Not sure if this is the right place to post / ask this but....anyways....earlier this year my computer died. No display / post / fans spun but that was all. Checked alot of stuff at the time and could'nt figure it out so I just gave up.
Well, I recently opened it back up and after a little research found that 2 of the capacitors were bad, one was slightly bulging at the top and the other was bulging plus had some black gunk on the top.
My question is if it'd be worth trying to replace them. The motherboard wasn't a very expensive one, and I'm kinda hesitant because I tried the CPU that was in it in another computer and it didn't work so I think maybe it might've killed it? Also I noticed on the back of the motherboard where the CPU socket is some spots in the pins are miscolored.
Again, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, made this account to ask this question. Thanks!
