Bent audio capacitor

Go to solution Solved by Opencircuit74,

You'll be fine, the connectors are still in place and that's all that really matters.

Hi, 

It was pointed out to me that the bottom left hand capacitor in the group of four is bent. I tried to push it down slightly which has given it a tiny bit of play. It only wiggles slightly if put under pressure. 

It's an audio cap and it's away from the rest of the motherboard. 

My question, is it still safe to use? 

 

Appreciate opinions on this.
