Seriously though, i would get a new motherboard and be done with it.
Even i you replace that capacitor it most likely wont work( you never know).

The box was flashing green before i removed the capasitator, now it is dead, so i assume i broke the circuit, i havent tried to bridge it yet though. What is the spec of the burned cap?

There are some BIOS types that won't transfer between other models, but they're far less common then the 1.6 issue.
