Actually it seems I lied but accident. I do have filezilla setup on this laptop, just not in c:\tools were I expected it to be.
It's in program files cause I do lazy installs on this laptop lol.
Anyway now I can provide some high-resolution images of the most suspicious capacitator on the old motherboard, kinda interesting to look at:
In case you want to look at the picture they are here:
http://www.skybuck.org/Hardware/DreamPC2006/SuspiciousCapacitator/
There is also one memory chip picture in there but ok.
