Putting together a pc from spare parts to run FreeNAS and while screwing the CPU fan on I slipped and drove a screwdriver straight through the top of a capacitor (I assume). I wanna have this thing running tonight so what are the chances that this won't burn my house down let alone boot properly? I know, I'm retarded.
I fucked up

Today I booted a pc with a exploded capacitor, don't be a pussy
Lincoln Robinson
fuck knows what that specific cap does, but if you don't plug it in and just replace the cap it'll probably be fine.
Jaxon Cox
just replace the cap and you'll be fine
Logan Rodriguez
just puts some epoxy over it it will be fine the juice hasn't leaked out yet

That's the thing though I want this bitch running ASAP and I have no spare caps.
Leaning towards this, gonna put some loctite on it. Wish me luck lads I'll report back if I survive.

as if someone retarded enough to ask he he can turn on a computer with a busted open cap can replace it.

It's fine, some people do this to increase the internal pressure of capacitors so they run hotter, producing more DC microamps.

you just shorted that cap you brainlet, and now you are sealing it with loctite, better remove it completely then
