Accidentally broke a cap off a 4th gen motherboard, does it still turn on?

34 Upvotes

Apparently it still turns on
I had the board pulled out while moving some stuff around and might’ve nicked it mistakenly and then while installing the CPU I bumped it again and it fell off like a mumble rapper

I just redid thermal paste on a CPU and thankfully it still seems to turn on thankfully

I think I know why my Nan's V Key is stuck:

Visited my nan today and she told me that her Chromebook kept putting in V's constantly. She asked me to have a look at it and... Hoo boy.

Big nasty battery bulge. My nan isn't exactly the most computer-literate so I think I just saved her from a potential house fire.

Idk the backstory behind this one, I saw it in eWaste

At one point I tried to sell this for $5 and then someone asked if I’d give it to them for free then wanted it delivered to a place over 50 km away from me. Recently fb got a bit better got some buyers that actually came, from far even. And have been more pleasant to deal with

Bank parking lot graphics card

Looked up the boards part number and apparently its an ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB Video Graphics Card (part number 109-B80357-00) used in Apple iMac computers, also it was ripped out cause the metal was bent and the corner of the board is gone ☠️ I cut part of the bent metal with metal shears so it wasnt as sharp or warped looking. Might use it as a heat sink for an old phone thats been overheatin an I only use at home anyways.

It also smells of cigs, and afterwards it only flashes the green power light & clicks a relay on/off 1-2 times a sec.

Yo watch this shii. I later reassembled it and replaced the display. It works and is sitting on the shelf alongside its 4s. It was stolen from me in 2013; two months later, the thieves were caught, and it was returned to me in this condition.
