1. Hardware: GeForce 6200 AGP
2. Symptoms: No video output
3. History: The machine does not have a history of rebooting, we came into work to find the machine had no video.
4. Resolution: Swapped out video card.

I can see the 5 out of 6 caps have orange-ish discharge - there doesn't appear to be any other visible damage to the card. Its a silver cap with blue text:

FZ6C
1000
6.3V

From other threads i've read in this forum, this is the Sacon FZ series, and that is not a good thing. And it seems like a waste to throw away a perfectly fine video card if it can be fixed.

Can anyone here point me to an acceptable replacement? I've tried to use www.digikey.com, but could use a helping hand on navigating there. Or would you recommend using the Capacitor Kit Request located on this site.

I'll try to post a pic but my cell phone camera hasn't given a good shot yet.

Re: Caps for video card?

those should be OK (if the leg spacing is the same (6mm))

if not, here are smaller ones (3,5mm leg spacing)

if you're going to replace the caps, replace *all* Sacon FZ, as they are pure crap and the remaining ones would fail soon..


edit: i forgot to replace the ebay.de links with ebay.com ...whoops
