    have to desolder to remove the caps, get same value caps & solder them in with the right orientation.

    One other comment: If this is a Dell machine, then I believe that this is a problem that Dell knows of, and will replace your motherboard for ..... if you force them to! Search out info using Google and you should find more info - I did for the company I'm working for (a nuclear generating station !).

    depends on the value of the caps. do you have a soldering iron & a solder sucker or solder wick?

    Also those boards are like 3 dollars plus shipping on ebay. Hell I just seen a lot of them like 5 for five dollars and ten for shipping. If one out of those five work yeah saved money.
