Question Can i keep using a motherboard with busted capacitor?

[47momid]

So I was using my pc and suddenly a balck screen came up. I was using VGA port on my motherboard. I taked a look and saw two of SMD capacitors behind the VGA port were busted. It has a DVI port too which is still working can I leave dose capacitors unrepaired and keep using DVI instead or even buy a gpu and use that instead. Or the problem will grow if it's leaved unsolved and more damage will come to motherboard?
I've leave a photo for better conclusion.

If the problem will grow is somehow depend on whether that specific capacitor are tied to circuitry only related to the VGA port only, or if it belong to a circuit that also are related to other functions.

What specific model of motherboard is this, and how old?
Has the motherboard taken any damage in the past, i.e. being bent, taken a punch by falling or being hit by something falling onto it ?

It's a Asus prime h410m-k. it's 3 or 4 years old now.
No,nothing has damaged it previously.

Do you still have any customer rights on this item ?

No, the guarantee just had ended.

Why do you think, they are busted?
Did you test them?

They look corroded. Might not necessary be bad.

I think obviously not as it require de-soldering and a proper tool (I bought a DE-5000 some years ago that I've used to determine the fault and repair several faulty items).

Kind of agree on that. Maybe a better (more clear) picture and also from several angles can shed better light on that.

Your best option is to likely do nothing. It is very hard to repair stuff like this and you run the large risk of damaging other parts nearby or maybe just getting more stuff unsoldered that you want.

Other than a simple short caps are almost impossible to test without removing them and even then the boards are so complex you may end up removing lots of parts that are good trying to find bad ones.

My guess is since you have been using it and is stable. Most electronic stuff fails almost instantly its not like they have parts that wear out like a motor. Likely better to save any money you would spend on tools to fix it to invest in a new motherboard/computer eventually.
