Geez, this has to be the most bone headed thing I've done when putting together a new machine. I broke a component off of a new motherboard (Asus P5Q). It's a cap/filter or something. Sorry, I'm electrical illiterate. Please, can anyone identify the component in the picture and possibly give me a clue where to get another one if I can???

Thanks.
 
It's a capacitor, and you can probably just reattach this one instead of replacing it.
 
Well, the leads broke off from inside the capacitor (they're still sticking out of the motherboard). I don't see how I could re-attach it.

Can you identify it? I've been Googleing for a while now, but haven't found anything definite on how to read the markings. Obviously it's a 6.3V.

Thanks.
