I was replacing my northbridge heatsink on my p35 ds3l. Instead of taking time and removing the motherboard...I tried to just cut it out. Turns out that was a bad idea. I was able to rip off one of the two plastic connectors. While attempting to get the second one off with brute force I knocked over a capacitor..it is still attached and I made it straight again. Is this ok? I have not turned back on my computer as I am still looking for my artic silver 5
In the end I had to remove the motherboard anyways because I did not want to do further damage.
Is there any way to fix the capacitor? Is it safe to attempt to see if the motherboard still works?
