One Costly Spark.

While trying to boot an older motherboard (Asus M4A88T-M) with ecc ram, I used the dram Mem OK! button to try and see if it's possible it would post with this non-typical set of ram, however while doing this, I lifted my hand off of the button a half second late I guess, however a spark appeared under the ram around the capacitors. The board will not post at all, and it is an older board so I cannot rma it. Should I attempt using capacitors of the same voltage from another motherboard?

Also, I hooked up a case speaker and there are no post messages. Whenever I switch it on, the fans all spin, and you can tell everything is working, however you could sit there for an hour and it will not post. Another thing, if you have spare parts you just don't want anymore, just lemme know. I really need a system.
