a bent capacitor

[egyteam]

I got my new mobo but I found a cap is bent, it is not settled 90 degre on the mobo PCB, so this can cause problems ?

I tried to gently puch it, but it is strong at its position and I don't want to force it.

I don't think that it will cause you any trouble, it's prolly not detached from the PCB so there won't be much to worry about. Besides te only reason to find out if there is anything wrong is by testing if the mobo still functions properly.

Doesn't look too bad. I've seen worse on new motherboards :D
It's should work without any problems unless a legg is broken.

so better let it and don't try to push it ?

Well if it is touching the round thingy (I don't know the English name, but it's to filter voltage) you could bend it a little as they may have some effect on eachother. I've bend many caps and it went fine.

Just make sure that you don't bend like this:

Best just to leave it alone if its not causing problems. Ive never recieved a mb without at least one slighly bent cap. You can very gently push it back a little but its best just left alone.
