Answer» Looking online at a motherboard and something caught my eye. Can anyone spot the issue with this brand new motherboard shown?
[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]No USB3 HEADER is the main thing I notice, though it MIGHT be on part of the board not pictured.Standard PCI SLOT Ok a hint .... check out sink SCREEN details compared to components on board.You could just tell us, then we could all move on ok just did some quick searching and it appears that I'm actually wrong.... the capacitors that are can form I thought were all electrolytic and actually the solid capacitors are in can form.
I have seen them fail before and fail just like electrolytic's swelling and blowing their tops and so I thought they were electrolytic. I thought solid caps were like the tantalum ones where they are dry cubes as in solid state component and when they fail they fail due to over voltage or internal shorting as is common with old tantalum caps in which they burn, but immune to drying up like the can type. So there is nothing wrong with the board pictured. How embarrassing.

Quote A polymer capacitor, or more accurately a polymer electrolytic capacitor, is an electrolytic capacitor (e-cap) with a solid electrolyte of a conductive polymer. It is based on the use of an anode metal and the combination of a polymer electrolyte TOGETHER with a liquid electrolyte.
