I'm getting continuous beeps from my mobo. All hardware was tested and work fine (still have to check CPU, but I think it's fine). But then during a visual inspection, I noticed this near my onboard sound...
A capacitor is blown, and theres some kind of resedue beneath it. Could this spell death for a motherboard, or is this the likely culpret of all my problems?
This board cost me an arm and a leg, and its not something I'm willing to go out and replace (its gonna cost me around $100, even though its an old KT333).
Would such a tiny capacitor leak me the source of my problems? I've seen some repair articles. Sounds too much of a pain to me.
