So a transistor broke off my motherboard. I tried soldering it back in, but I failed.
Can I take a transistor from any other electronic device, like a mouse?
Or should I just buy a new one, and pass all the problems? What do you guys think?

And if I would buy a new motherboard which one should I get? I would like a budget gaming one. Price would be about 70-80$
My motherboard: MSI H61M-P20 (G3)
CPU: i3-3220
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB.

looks like an electrolytic capacitor, if it didn´t leak, you could possibly solder it. I know some people have replaced capacitors when they were faulthy.

You can use another capacitor, but it has to be of the same type and similar v and mf or very close. its hard to see on your pic, but looks like a 10 volt, 1600 µF (microfahrad)
