Checked the motherboard of the Compaq that I picked up last week, all looks good - no bulging and no leakage.
Took the top off the working PSU and was met with yellow gunk round a lot of the capacitors, but no bulging or lifting off the PCB although some are at a bit of an angle.
Looked for some pics and info on the internet, some say that the yellow stuff is like a glue used to hold them in place, others say that it is leakage.
There is some slight charring to the board between the two resistors and big capacitors in the second picture that will be addressed, but looking at the below pics do the rest of them need replacing?
