Customer brings in a machine and says it won't boot. I turn the power on and the fans go but nothing else. I start pulling cards and swapped the power supply. Still no go. Then I noticed that it had Softmenu so I disabled it and manually set the chip and it worked. I cleared the Cmos and set it back to use Softmenu. I set the bios up and booted it into windows. Everything looked good and I walked to the phone to call the customer, then BAM! I turned to see something hit the ceiling and fall back in the case.

Well, it was a capacitor that sat behind the slot! Blew the sucker right out of there. There were at least three others that are bulged and the Abit BF6 is no more!!

Anyone ever have this happen to them before?
