Hi, I was having issues originally with this PC as I was unable to get it to turn on, I sent the PC to a shop to be repaired and when they managed to get it to turn on, they had smoke / small flame coming off the motherboard. This happened a few years ago so I have decided to try repair it myself.
I plugged it in and turned it on and one of the MOSFETs 6414A popped and a small flame followed by smoke appeared.
Any advice? Will I be able to replace the MOSFET or is a new motherboard required?
Thanks in advance

Hello
I can not answer you, for the repair
it can be tricky, you have to find the right part etc.
moreover if something toasted is not for nothing, you risk finding the same problem, and from what you indicate, there is a danger
replacing the motherboard with an identical one, if you find one, may be an option
to see if you will find a functional one
