Hey guys I need some assistance before I begin replacing a broken cap on my motherboard that is no more than 1 day old. =(
Long story short, I received the mobo with one of caps near the cpu vrm being slightly bent diagonally and in an effort to re-straighten the cap, it became detached. And yes before you ask I did make sure there was no "Made in China" label anywhere so I didn't think applying a little bit of pressure would be an issue.
Now since the two pins are still attached to the mobo, would it be possible to just slide the two pins back into the two holes under the capacitor? If not, then I would imagine that the first step is to find the correct cap replacement. The capacitor is labeled as follows:
212
SEPC
560
6
I have attached a picture of the mobo, along with the broken cap(in green) and the two pins currently sticking up(in red).
Thanks for the help.
