i had a friend bring their PC over. they said that they had a slight power surge or something, not really sure but something happened with the power, then all the sudden their PC would not turn back on. I checked it and found the power supply dead, replaced it and all was good again.. luckily nothing else fried. I am not sure if this thing frying is what effected the power or if it was something else, all i know is the bottom of the wires were partly melted, the one cap closest to the aluminum heatsink right by the orange power wires was a little off center and the board was black under it and by the side like it was burnt. when i tried to wipe the dust off to see what kind it was, it started cracking like brittle old plastic. on the side of the cap it looked like a VR(M), but was kinda melted so hard to say for sure. All i could think was, "dang, she is lucky that she did not fry anything else".
forgot to add, the fan was good and still worked too so was not overheated because of that and really no build up from dust either. I never cleaned it out. the way you see it is the way it came out.
