My DS3 died on me today because a capicitor had blown. What are the chances of my cpu still working ok ? ( i dont have another motherboard to check my cpu)

good chance the CPU is fine, only 1 way to find out though.

Thanks for the reply mate. I will have a replacement soon hopefully :rolleyes:

If it's just a single cap that's gone then you could easily replace it, these things cost pennies and should be 5 minute job if you can solder.
