    Hi all,

    I've been given an Elite 360 with a potentially serious problem. The owner gave it to me to look at after they tried to repair an E70 something error, on investigation it was clear that something was amiss so i started to check the board for breaks in the traces or damaged components.

    Sure enough i found what i think is the culprit under the extended arm of the GPU heatsink. There is a brown capacitor????? that has blown and will need replacing. Has anyone out there replaced one of these type of components and are they easy to do? i have some spare mobo's that i can take a donor from if they have one on them. i will post a pic of the offending item later should anyone be interested in seeing what it looks like. I have next to no soldering experience but im willing to give it a go :)

    Post that pic so we can have a look-see.

    Replacing it is not difficult.
