GeForce 6600GT with Skywell Caps

[bgavin]

This board is dead. No fan movement, no nuthin'.

All caps except two are Sanyo OS-CON types.
There are two Skywell 330uF/16v SEL series in place.

Q: could these keep the board from powering up?

skywell is a crap brand.
are they bulging?
fans on many cards are crap too.

No bulging at all.
I haven't tested the fan either. Card gives absolutely no life to the video display at all. I figured DOA, and replaced the card.

I was just curious, as the card (had) some worth.
