Hello,
Trying to revive an old card. It's a GeForce 7600 GS (circa 2008). I use it as a backup card (not used much), and it was working until recently. The card fan spins, but the computer won't boot. Nothing on the screen either. Motherboard gives me a diagnostic code indicating video trouble.
All the caps look ok from the outside. No breaks or bulges. But might as well replace them insteading of buying a new card.
I see three brown KZG caps:
6.3v 1500uF, 10mm
Another brown KZG cap:
16v 470uF, 8mm
Two silver caps:
16v 330uF, 10mm
I have some questions. The brown caps have vents on the top, but the silver caps don't. Guessing that has something to do with their temp. rating of 70F.
Do I have to replace a non-vented cap with a non-vented cap? Is there a special name for these non-vented caps? Or should I just leave them alone?
Digikey cap replacement suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.
