I took a chance & bought a slim listed as parts/repair off ebay for $37 shipped.
The seal didn't appear to be broken or tampered with.I noticed the exaust vent had a couple small cracks in it.The console powered up with no video & audio,showed green then after 3-5 sec went red.
When I was thinking about reflowing the southbridge & xcgpu,I thought I should do the obvious & look really hard for any physical damage.This cap is all I found that had any damage.
I turned the console on probably 26 times total,3 times it came on & froze on the logo screen with a graphics glitch & once it got to the dashboard before doing the same.
From top to bottom the cap reads:
FP
14Pe
471
16
In the last pic,its the one closest to the power cord/psu adapter.Says 12po main right above the bent cap.I googled but couldn't find this cap.Althought its not bent very bad,imo it could still be enough to mess things up.Everything else looks fine on the board.
