Missing capacitor on P67A UD4?? Can someone verify.

Missing capacitor on P67A UD4?? Can someone verify.
« on: September 25, 2014, 12:33:21 pm »
I just got back from a short holiday to find my PC won't boot. It powers on, then off, and continues to do this until you hold the power button.

Upon looking in the case I notice it appears my mobo is missing a capacitor, surely can't be the problem as the PC was working fine before and a cap would not just fall off while i'm away?

So could someone verify it is meant to be this way?

On the board it is labelled as EC34 and located just to the left of where it says ErP Ready.

If you lost that cap then that might be the problem. I know some  computer repair shop will fix that for you.
