Hi,
This is a follow up thread to:

When i plug the power to my computer I hear a very low volume high frequency noice (this is without turning the computer on). This is a sign of a short somewhere, or am I completely wrong?
So i unplugged everything and pulled out the motherboard from the case.
I went thru every soldering and capacitor and found this:

In the closeup you can see that its a bit "pointy". The top of the capacitor has swollen.
In the second pic you see that it is a bit higher than the similar capacitor that is right beside it.
In the last pic you can see that the top has "broken" and theres come some black stuff out of it. I have no idea if that black stuff belongs to the capacitor of just some dirt o.O
Any help would be nice, and is there any possibility that is is the problem why the computer wont boot and there is that high frequency sound.
Thanks in advance
