Maybe not right away but it could eventually. RMA it now so you don't have issues down the road

Is  the solder point fine?

 

Then it should work. Don't touch it more than you have to.

that depends on how wobbly it is.
Look on the back of the motherboard where the capacitor meets the joint, and see if it's still connected.
Cracks?

What is a solder point

 A solder point is a silver point, where the electronic component is connected to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board, in this case your motherboard.)

 

How old is the board? can i have a model number?
