CPU Oscillator fell out of motherboard

[Jury]

I recently purchased a cheap motherboard from ebay. I open the box, and it looks as pictured. Then I see it in the bottom of the box...

 

 

Something that looks exactly like that.

 

Can I fix this somehow? or should I just try to get a refund?

If you are lucky you can solder it

refund it if just purchased

 

any attempts to DIY and getting it back to work will void your warrany

if you attempt to solder it back - best case scenario it Works but you still voided your warranty for future issues

worst case scenario - the oscilator is dead eitherway and you just voided you warranty and are stuck with a usless, broken  circuitboard

I could fix it pretty easy, if I could tell what the picture is

Will it POST without the crystal in place?

possibly, but doubtful...

I would find some way of pressing it on the PCB (without touching it with your finger) to see if it posts. If it does, its worth soldering.

Its the one by the golden gigabyte thing.

 

Does that make a difference?

starting to wonder if the top of the cap popped off. Those usually arent surface mount

Wait , i though cpus didn't have crystal/quartz oscillators for the clock anymore !?

they still need ones for the realtime clock, and some other parts
