Hello. So I think I damaged this board when I was attempting to use it with a riser - my memory of it is not great - the lesson I think is to not fiddle with such things after having the final vaccine jab.
So now the fan spins, but it is not detected in windows at all. There are no burn marks on any of the IC's, having checked with a microscope. The only thing I did see was the look of grimy greasy stuff near one of the big capacitors, also one of the small caps is dented.
So I would love some guidance on confirming the caps are bad (currently have a multimeter), anything else to look for, and identifying the caps so I could replace the dented/bad/leaky ones. Image is attached.
Much appreciated.
