    Blown Capasitor

    I have a gigabyte board which i think may have a blown capactior as I heard a pop wen connecting the sys fan to the board.

    Will this be covered by the warranty?

    Did you plug the fan in while the system was powered up? That can blow the PWM chip that controls the fan speed, and a fan will then not work on that connector. I doubt if connecting a fan would affect a capacitor - can you see any bulging cans?

    Hard to say if they would consider it a reason not to provide warranty.

    OK if you are not Vakas which you have admitted twice now, then you are in contravention of the AUP here.

    You should sign up for your own account and not use Vakas' account.
