ABIT MOBO went bye bye

My friend's computer kept on rebooting so i try to help him fixed it. Open the computer, look at his capacitors and it's all messed up. On top of the capacitors, acid was leaking out, or something like that. ANd i know why to.

It's an ABIT SA6. or something like that.



All winter long, his computer was next to his humidifier., not really next but in the same room. Moisture got in i guess.. So don't use a humidifier when your computer is in the room

It's probably power or memory. There's a good chance that the board would work without the capacitor at all. I mean, it could be the board, but I wouldn't leave it for dead just yet.

The capacitor is still intact but it's leakind. Like when you try to charge a AA battery but it's not rechargeable.
