    Asus p5kpl-am epu

    When I push the power button the board powered up but no display, POST or even beep. It has the so called "solid capacitor" but underneath the processor's heatsink was very hot and I could see the brownish discoloration of the PCB. Is the "solid capacitor" prone to badcap or an exemption?

    The solid capacitors aren't prone to failure and are not the cause of your problem. It sounds like a partially shorted VRM may be the cause fo the problem. Since its an ASUS board, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      This model commonly has failed NIKOS MOSFETS near the coin-cell battery.

              You will need either a really hot iron with a flat-tipped bit or a reflow gun with a really narrow nozzle to take the old MOSFET off. This is the only time when my 30W iron is not able to do the job. Like PCBONEZ says, post the part number.

                  I think these will work fine, but please ask PCBONEZ to confirm:
