Abit VP6 Jackcon cap explode suddenly

[supersabre]

I 've just found a Abit VP6 next to a dumpster. The physical appearance of all JAckon caps are good, not bulge, no leak.

However, when i turn it on, one of the cap (green circle) that under the AGP slot and mosfet exploded suddenly.



Question: Will recap save the board?
Will a suddenly blow-up damage the board?

The caps go often bad suddenly. Once I turned on Abit KT7 with caps looking good - and one of the caps (Jackcon) got very hot and bulged - so turned it off. After turning on again, another one did the same thing. So I replaced them all and it works.
