Hello everyone, I have a question that I posted on Reddit and got a few contradicting answers. I purchased this Intel NUC6i7KYK as "Parts" on eBay because it was power cycling. I originally thought it just needed some cleaning and new Thermal Paste, but that is not the case. I was looking at the bottom of the board, and found what I believe to be a blown capacitor. I attached a stock picture, and circled the component in blue. I know it is impossible to identify the exact specs of this part, but at least knowing what type of part it is will point me in a direction to troubleshoot. Since the board is dead, I really have nothing to lose by trying to fix it and learn from it. According to Reddit, it is either a fuse, capacitor or resistor. One suggestion would be to put a 0ohm resistor in and try it, but I don't want to do that if it is actually a capacitor. Thank you in advance!
