Help with possible motherboard damage

yurij97 · Oct 18, 2018

I was building my pc when I noticed that I accidentally bent one of the nodes of my motherboard. I put it back into place a bit but I don't know if it is still functional or not. Will it be okay? Please advise.

should be fine as long as nothing broke.

Looks okay. Do you notice any not wanted system behavior?

yurij97 :

That electrolytic capacitor looks to be one of the filter caps in the audio section. If the lead broke you'd notice it as noisy audio, maybe hissing or crackling. Those kinds of caps are filled with a dielectric fluid which can leak out over time if the case is compromised, with gradually degrading audio noise, so keep an eye on that area of the board to see if leaking fluid is darkening it over time.

But i agree it looks to be an extremely minor correction and should be good.
