Gearsguy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) So I was using my computer and moved it, and heard something rattling around inside. I know a screw is a little weird in there, so I popped off the bottom ready to find it and screw it in nicely. Cant find it, shake the computer a little, still hearing it inside, and this falls out. It has the words 330 155PRE on it. Doesnt seem to affect anything yet, but will be contacting Dell to find out in case. Very odd, Ive never ever dropped it or anything UPDATE: Online chat cant check so Ill have to call tomorrow Edited December 16, 2011 by Gearsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sargent Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Looks like something from a board came off. Does it have any type of connection leads? Might be broken off and hard to see. Strange that the system is fine without it. Have you tested everything, DVD, wireless etc? Good luck finding where and what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sargent Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Sargent major wifey and I have a burned out laptop motherboard we found 2 chips that look just like it and have the 330 on it. Can't tell you more then that but it came off a board inside for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted December 16, 2011 Founder Share Posted December 16, 2011 Dunno what that is but anytime a part falls off from inside it can't be good news. I'd call for a service repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 [ATTACH=CONFIG]2989[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]2988[/ATTACH] That's an electrolytic capacitor. There are tons of them on the board... but you still need them to be in the proper place You'll need a mobo replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
