well thing is it's not a new mobo, picked it up in a garage sale and the previous owner didn't had the purchase ticket, and so was being sold for parts, extra cheap. So I don't know if that alternative would still be on the table, will try though, but I think in the end I'll end up trying to fix it myself, that's why I'm trying to find more info about its capacitors brand and a website they're for sale, if someone can hook me up with that info it'd be great
