broken ceramic capacitor

[pcbuilderSOS]

ok so i dropped my cpu cooler and of course it had to fall on capacitors

 

[COLGeek]

Is there a question here?

My guess - the question is "can I fix a capacitor on the motherboard?"

The answer is no.

Send the motherboard for repair or replace it altogether. Those are your realistic choices.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from pcbuilderSOS : "are all smd capacitors mandatory"

i broke off 2 smd capacitors on my motherboard and my computer still starts and windows works, why is that ?

Something is now messed up, it must be something you aren't using... Could be a pci slot, could be a sata port you never know but they're all needed.
