Busted Capacitors
Random IT stuff
So I was asked by a co-worker to take a look at his PC and why it was randomly not booting / sometimes not getting to the BIOS, and I told him it is most likely hardware-related. He was hoping his drive was OK for getting files off it, but my suspicion was right. Unfortunately for him, he most likely does not want to drop 70-80 bucks to get the same mobo, etc so either parts or a donated PC for him. And a quick USB drive connection will copy his files.
FYI for anyone looking for a capacitor on a motherboard that is fried/busted / not quite right… Here is a picture for your enjoyment.
