Leadtek A250 - thorns among the roses

[pfrcom]

Dating from the middle of the bad capacitor plague, this Leadtek A250 shows a typical problem - small number of GSC electrolytic 'crapacitors' mixed in with quality Sanyo OSCONs

And the GSCs have done what GSCs typically do

GSCs replaced with decent quality ones salvaged from defunct motherboards - deprecated practice, but not worth spending money on old computer ephemera

3rd one, top right of pic between memory chips, was surrounded by heat sink assembly

That one between the RAM chips looks like a TK. They are just as bad.

But yes, I agree that it's not worth spending anything on a graphics card this old. I'm pretty sure this one was either a Ti4600 or Ti4800. Decent in their day, but very old now.

Nice to see older hardware repaired and kept going.

Great cards in their day as said.
