If you want to keep that 9010 going, it's a lot cheaper to buy an MB off of ebay than to take to a computer shop.  Be sure to get at least a 30-day return policy.  I don't know if that MB could ever work again or if I would ever trust it again after something shorted.  It's apparently fried. By the way, there's also a YouTube video of an MB connected to a bad PSU that fried the MB.  Sparks and flames, but no bugllging caps.  I don't think the solid looking caps ever bulge as compared to the old ones used no longer.
Hello everybody, I am totally new here, but I hope someone can help me. I have an Optiplex 9010 MT. I wanted to replace the CPU fan. So I bought a compatible fan on Amazon and used the 5 pin female plug to 4 pin socket connection jack cable. As advised on this forum in a post. I made sure I connected everything properly. It didn't work. Here is what's happening: With power connected, the fans on the motherboard turn on, then stop spinning. I can see the orange light on the front panel power button flash once, very briefly. No beeps, no images on the screen, no signs of life. With the power connected, I can hear a faint high pitch whining sound coming from, as far as I can asses, the motherboard. This is what I have done already and doesn't solve the problem: I am afraid the motherboard is not going to work anymore. I hope someone here has a solution? Thanks in advance, Jaap
