My Macbook recently stopped working unexpectedly and upon inspecting the logic board I've found one of the capacitors has burned out.
I'm not sure what the best option to fix his problem is, replace the capacitor or get a new logic board all together?
I'm no expert on this subject and although I've spent several days researching so far I've not found an actual solution so I've taken to here for advice.

Can't tell by just eyeballing it, would have to diagnose with test equipment.

You can just replace that cap but chances are there are others also on their way out and that is if the cause of the fault lies with the cap and that another faulty component didn't cause it to fail.
