Leave it alone because electronics might as well be magic to me and I don't want to break anything.

Close the console and alt-tab to my emulator where I don't have to waste time with this crap.

At that point, I'd just buy a whole new set of caps and completely recap the system with all that electrolytic fluid potentially being underneath some of the good caps. Give the board a vinegar bath and spray it down with contact cleaner after. You got a brain OP?

Clean it and recap the whole board, and hopefully not have to worry about it for 20 years.

Flip it over
Clean with alcohol
Apply flux
Heat it up
Put solder pen there
Keep it on for 1 second
Suck it up with a turkey baster
Do it again for the 2nd pin
Put new cap in the place
Put solder wire right where the hole is
Place the pen on it
Place solder wire where the other hole is
Place the pen on it
Wipe it all down with more alcohol
Flip it back over

WHY IS EVERYONE ON /VR/ NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN /VR/ BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ELECTRONIC REPAIR!?!

Based. I can't tell you how much I've saved on electronics over the years (and how much free shit I've gotten that people thought was broken) because I took the 5 fucking minutes it takes to learn how to solder and bought a .78¢ capacitor

Dude there are actually so-called "men" out there right now that can't distill water or spirits, makes explosives, or make methamphetamine for personal use. Give your typical western man an iron and he's likely to try to burn his dick off because he hates himself.

replace it and see if it comes back to life? i've seen motherboards come back from worse. just be grateful this one didn't explode so thoroughly you can't read the label any more; i've had to replace caps blind before and it aint fun.

Figure out what the capacitor is and re-solder a new one onto it, then play my vidya.
