was. The start up procedure does not get into the BIOS.
condensator who seems to had blown up.
I run one of these and have no problems with it, knocking on wood.

They are called capacitors. You need a desoldering tool, and a low power soldering iron to remove the old one. They have the tool on Ebay - just a suction type thing.
Then you have to get the right replacement cap. Again you can find them on Ebay. You could remove a cap from an old board or power supply of the same electrical capacity - the one you are talking about is 1000mf 6.3V. Some people just pull off the old casing and attach a new capacotor to to the two wires. Better to try and find someone to do it for you - but the cost is probably more than a new board.
