Ok,
First off if you've chipped off part of the crip cap from the car, it WON'T work because there is more then likely a break in the circuit. you could try desoldering it from the board, then jumping the connection to see what will happen. OR try to find another SMT cap like the one you chipped and replace it. If you don't know how to solder......Get a book from Radio Shack. In fact, RS is where you'll find the rest of you soldering supplies. And yet another solution: Buy a good clone and use you MS as a parts car.
