Busted Caps
So I was asked by a co-worker to take a look at his PC and why it was randomly not booting / sometimes not getting to the BIOs and I told him it is most likely hardware related. He was hoping his drive was OK to get files off of it but my suspicion was right. Unfortunately for him he most likely does not want to drop 70-80 bucks to get the same mobo etc so either parts or donation PC for him. And a quick USB drive connection will copy his files .
FYI for anyone looking for a capacitor on a motherboard that is fried / busted / not quite right… here is a picture for your enjoyment.
