[QUOTE="onedog, post: 165424"] I see what you mean and thanks for the thought but perhaps the magnification of the picture is deceiving. That is actually a post from the heatsink on the other side of the board (the large silver thing sticking out from under the board) not a capacitor. As a bit of an update I tried re-insulating it with some Araldite but to no avail, the short just burnt straight through it? I think I am going to have to admit defeat and strip it down for parts :oneye: Unless anyone out there has a knackered 17" 1.25GHz they want to part with? Perhaps I'll post a new thread asking?
