I was removing HSF from my board, the stupid reverse thread screw that feeds down through the board to a normal thread not became loose, preventing me from removing the HSF.
My only option was to lever in a mini visegrip to try and hold the screw to allow me to get the nut of and remove the HSF.
Anyways, the vicegrips slipped and i damaged a capacitor, didnt look too bad but when i fired it up the two small compoents circled blew.
They also need to be replaced, but I'm waiting on some info so i can identify them.
I have sourced a repacement capacitor and have a decent soldering station.
I have also successfully recapped motherboards before.
If anyone can help (Im asking around) with identifying the components in the red area I would be very gratefull indeed.
A close up picture showing the markings on the 2 small components (resistors i think?). Thanks
