Today I tried upgrading my Optiplex GX100's Celeron 433 to a Celeron 733 [I didn't think it'd pose a problem as they both use the same socket]...
After I plugged all the peripherals back in and pushed the power switch, it powered up but nothing showed up on my monitor. After about 15~30 seconds of noise and activity, the computer abruptly shut down.
I immediately opened the case and attempted to boot again. As I watched, there was a sudden emision of smoke from the area a red and white arrow points to it in the attached picture. The air also stank.
I immediately unplugged the system and replaced the new processor with the original. Tried to boot again, but though there's system activity (you can hear the CDrom search during boot time, HDD activity, etc.) there's no signal to the LCD monitor.
Anyone have any idea what happened & what I can do?
After coming across this forum, my first guess is that I somehow busted some caps, but [pardon my ignorance] I thought caps were the "battery-looking things" on the motherboard. The parts that look fried or with leaks (see arrows in close-up diagram--apologies for the funky quality) look like ... I don't know. Are they caps?
