I got this little mATX VIA Apollo Pro board with soldered on C3 processor recently. I remember having one just like it in a secondary system in the early 2000s, but it seems pretty unique now.
It does boot, but I only just noticed what looks like 2 SMD components next to the front USB header seem to have blown up! One component looks badly damaged and is hanging off, and I think another to it's right is totally missing!
If I'm reading the silk screen correctly, these are C73 and L50.
Any tips on diagnosing what these were, and what they might do?
Instinct says something to do with the USB header?
