I got a Palit Geforce 4 4200 that has suddenly died.
It was working one day in the morning and when the PC was turned on in the evening, there was no signal on the monitor.
It is confirmed that the graphics card is at fault. I had to put in another one as a temporary replacement.
I was wondering what could have gone wrong with it for it to fail suddenly?
I looked over the whole board thoroughly and I can not find any burnt out components.
However there are three bulging caps on it. The card is populated with Canicon 1000uF 6.3V caps.
Could the fix simply be replacing the capacitors?
