Broken Capacitor on Board MacPro

While installing a video card in a MAC PRO, I must have snagged a capacitor on the underneath MAIN? board because I found it just rolling around. Is this an easy fix or will I have to completely dismantle the mac to pull out the board?

It's a early generation 2.66 quad core that can only run Lion. I use it for capturing and digitizing vhs and scanning photos. Worth repairing or just keep for parts on other 2.66 I have running?

thanks

Mac Mini (Late 2014) Monterey 12.5 I've been running two old Apple Cinema Screens, 23" HD as the main screen, and 20" as the second screen. Since updating to the latest 12.5 version of Monterey, the 2nd screen shows only the white top strip with greyed out images and words, and the rest of the screen black. By restarting zapping the PRAM several times I manage to get it back. Obviously I've run Disk Utility and also CleanMyMac which makes no difference. It is a bore losing half an hour at the start of each working day cranking up the old mac mini - does anyone have any ideas - I don't want to replace the computer as I'm only just beginning to recover from the business disaster over the Pandemic! Be great to hear! Gareth

caps lock light doesn't work properly. hi I purchased latest Mac Pro 13 , a week ago. I realised that sometime my cap lock light doesn't work. (but functionality is ok) it is not like 1 or 2 times. I have recorded video about 10sec. during this 10sec, the light never on. I pressed lightly and hardly , clicked here and there . edge of the key or centre of the key.. actually now still doesn't work.. but it has light suddenly. seems like the response is slow..? may I know why? do I need to restart? (I have not restarted for 1day only) the battery is full.

Help with radeon 4870 Hi folks! Well, bit of an oops. While doing a repair of my old, but great 2009 Mac Pro, I had to remove the graphic card, it's the Radeon 4870 of that era. That card connect with two wires and oops, I forgot to note, coming of mother board, which one goes where. Thus just need to know one, then the other obvious. So, looking at mother board, two wires come out of it to graphic card, a left and right, as you look in. So, the Left one does it connect to the outer plug on the card, IE,, the plug closes to the edge of card or the inner plug? Looking forward to an answer! Keith
