    Replacing surface-mount snap in caps

    I've got a videocard that had a capacitor knocked off of it. Is it possible to solder a new cap on in it's place? It is one of those caps that has a plastic base soldered to the board. The entire thing came off the board. How do you solder the plastic base without melting it?
    Ludicrous gibs!

      Marking on the caps is as follows-

      450 (could also be 45q?)
      180
      16v

      I would take this to be a 1800uf? or is it just a 180uf? I can't seem to find any suitable replacements at digikey.

          Okay, just saw it's a solid polymer. Which means that it's probably 180uf 16v. Here's what I found from UCC
