Holy smokes ! Now thats a catastrophic failure !
The only thing that can blow electrolytics (those little can things) open like that is a severe overvoltage... as in a lightning strike. Or a bolted fault (severe short circuit). You dident drop a paper clip in there did you ?
Problem is why dident it trash your entire machine ?
Im guessing that your power supply took the major brunt of the surge.
You sir are one lucky sob. Your going to have a rough time getting a warranty claim on that one.
Good luck.
