Re: Nvidia Geforce FX5200

well your pic is crap, does the camera have a macro function?

but generally, the caps are for a reason and they go as a group - so it will probably be fine if you replace the bad one and any others of the same type & rating.

what does the cap say on it?

Re: Nvidia Geforce FX5200

had similar purple caps on a couple FX5200's ...

Asiacon .. pure crap.
my guess is 6,3V 1000uF

Re: Nvidia Geforce FX5200

the cap says:
16v
470uf
sacon


will replacing the cap solve the issue i am having?

Re: Nvidia Geforce FX5200

noone can say for sure.

but Sacon (= GSC = Evercon) is known pure junk. i mean *really* crappy..

if you're going to replace them, replace *all* sacon caps.. those which haven't popped yet will surely do so later..

Re: Nvidia Geforce FX5200

First, could you use better grammar? it makes it MUCH easier for us to understand.

the capacitors sold here @ badcaps.net will work. You can use either rubycon or samxon, your choice. match the values (uf) and the voltage from the bad caps when buying the new caps.

good luck with your recap!

You must remember, the guy is from Pakistan. I didn't have any trouble understanding him.

Shipping may or may not be a problem for Topcat. I know he ships internationally now for a pretty reasonable price.

Well I hope it works out for him. I've been running the same board with a bad cap on it for three months. I need to get brave and buy some caps and fix it.

More like take out the card and other components. 50 cents now or a new card later.
