Great I Bricked It

[SuperShermanTanker]

My motherboard is now bricked and I don't want to dare turning it on

Warrenty?

Rest In Peace, my friend. Rest in Peace.

If you have soldering iron and skills to use it, go to an electronic shop, find the matching capacitor and solder it on 

 

I dont even know how you managed to pull it out from the motherboard.

I came here thinking you bricked the mobo with the bios update. But it was a cap that fell out. Ok like atrash says if you are good with soldering  get the same rating of the cap and mcgyver it back.

He has strong fingers. I guess.

Lol it's very easy to repair yourself. Nothing serious to worry about.

But if it's on warranty, I'd used this opportunity. Just tell them it was already broken. Anyways, even a kid can repair it  you just put contacts inside this slot and solder them on the back side of the mobo (not to each other).

Yes it's core 2 duo its actually upgraded from a 1.8ghz pentium dual core and I upgraded it to a 3.0ghz Core 2 Duo the machine is actually pretty nice with 6gb of ram, 1tb hdd as the boot and a 250gb hdd as extra storage, and a nvidia geforce gt 720gpu

should have been more careful. any resistance and something isn't right. if the metal bracket ripped it out you were being aggressive on the install instead of watching where things go.

 

if you have a cap on another board or other pcb lying around, desolder it . it should be easy to remove the bits from the motherboard now that the top of the cap is ripped off.

 

there are specific rules and types of caps. find out what type and whether or not there is a positive or negative side or if it doesn't matter before replacing, which in this circumstance would be the blue stripe.

The contacts are stuck to the bord still the capacitor ripped off its contacts and the first thing that came to mind was soldering on a new capacitor the only problem is I have no idea whatsoever on how to solder luckally I have my old core 2 duo dell to use for now (specs of the dell are above this post somewhere) and I have a spare LGA 1150 motherboard laying arround that I have to look for because its somewhere in my room that I can use until I can fix my main motherboard

 

So it's not the end of the world now for my $1000 pc

Thanks for the advice as soon as I buy a soldering iron and get a new capacitor I will try to fix it the best I can

The motherboard is over a year old it's most likely out of warranty now

That should be a fairly easy fix as its not a super tiny surface mount component.

I did that to my original Xbox, but I did it on purpose. Those damn clock capacitors. 

 

OP, 

 

Might help, haven't watched it in a while so I don't remember if he actually shows how to solder. 

 

Oh and turning it on shouldn't hurt anything any worse. It probably won't even turn on.

[iamdarkyoshi]

Its most likely paralleled with another cap on the board. Dont let the pins touch anything, its 99% going to work fine. Its not going to hurt anything to try

 

If you are really paranoid, send it to me, pay for shipping both ways and I will solder a replacement on for free
