Live Life Less Serious

Busted Motherboard

Due to the life span of my cousin’s computer set, the unit went to its last drop of its operation. Yesterday, while doing her assignments and research works on her PC, she was frightened upon by a sudden loud sound coming from the unit. According to her it was clearly an explosion and she had no idea about what it was. So, I tried to visit her in their house to offer some help.


When I arrived there, I immediately checked the unit, trying to seek for the defects. Just before I took the cover off, I already knew what it was. I remove the side cover from the frame and saw the busted capacitor on the motherboard, nearest to the processor area. I don’t know of what was really the reason behind but I think it was related to the life span of an electronic component. So, I told her the best way to fix it is to change and buy a new motherboard or maybe she could have it fixed by professional troubleshooters in certain shops nearest to us.
