Damaged Coil Side view

Problem described as Memory Slot Not working & No Video


Since I had never seen this unit come on, with memory in slot 1 or slot 2 there was not much I could do other than thoroughly inspect the system fisrt.

When peeling back the plastic near the Video connector- looking close I notice a cap is stuck to the plastic. Very small ceramic cap that was hardly noticeable without magnification. Now- Where does if come from and where does it go?  What is it's purpose? Under magnification, I view the area where the smaller components are and see evidence of solder or tampering.  This appears to be the location of the missing/stray cap.
Since this is a multi-step repair... Back to the work bench to see if the problem is fixed now.		Stray cap found near video conn.
