my cd drive came loose and knocked a capacitator while it was on, pretty sure it killed the mobo, it gets power and the fans start blowing, ive reseating everything, tried every thing, resetting cmos, reseeting cpu, still no beep, so could anything else have died along with the mobo if everything worked fine before this hitting of the capacitator? is the capacitator fixable? it is an ABIT KT7, and what should i get for my next board out of the KT133A boards? thx ^^

Try to mount it back on. Not likely to fix it, but I HAVE hacked it back together in the past and got some stuff to work.

so are my other components ok? ie: vid card, sound, cpu? and how would i replace something to make the mobo work if at all possible?

They SHOULD be okay, but only way to tell is test.

Just solder the bad boy back on. Nothin to lose ;)
