Mechanical damage to motherboard. Picture please!

My ak1 Plus suffered an introduction to the wall by my angry girlfriend. Both capacitors c317 and c242 we're displaced and I am unable to identify what they were so I can replace them. If someone would be kind enough to open up their box remove the heat sink and fan assembly and tell me the numbers on those two capacitors near the CPU I would be forever grateful. In the attached photo the tools point at where the capacitors should be. Thank you

With the AK1 Plus being relatively inexpensive, sometimes being on sale, and with other things possibly being wrong with it that you can't yet see, you might just be better off getting another one.

You can try contacting barry, a tech for the company, at barry@minipcunion.com, but whether he will be able to give you the info you need I don't know.
