    help ID Soyo P4VTE MOSFET and cap?

    This is a Soyo (SY-)P4VTE motherboard that got screwed over by a bad video card. The card was inserted and had a short, which burnt out a MOSFET and blew a small capacitor near the AGP slot. The board powers up fine, but of course doesn't post or power up video.

    The MOSFET in question is a Niko Semiconductor P3055LD, basically an N-channel 25V/12A model in To-252 packaging. The datasheet is at http://datasheets.ru/datasheets/3932...a-P3055LD.html. I've been unable to find it (or an equivalent) at Mouser Electronics, DigiKey, or Jameco. I e-mailed all to get either no response or simply "can't help you". I've also got a message in to Niko Semiconductor (http://english.niko-sem.com/in/front...CompanyProfile) at all the contacts they've listed as they don't list a technical contact and don't appear to deal with the US directly. Incidentally, Niko appears to make a P3057LD with the same specs.

    The blown cap, marked CB26 on this board, is unidentified and long gone. I *do* have another of these boards, but it's simply a brown surface-mount cap with no markings on it. How can I (non-destructively) measure capacitance to ID it? Can I make measurements while connected on the working, good board?

    I'd appreciate any help identifying these components and equivalent substitutes I can get in the US.

    Thanks in advance!

    For the cap, if you don't want to pull it to measure.
    Trace the circuit.
    If nothing is in parallel you can measure it where it is.

        Sorry about that, you already have the data sheet on the MOSFET. The website is still a good resource.

          All bypass caps in digital systems are 100nF. Since this cap you are talking about is near the power MOSFET so it's in a power supply, it's a no-brainer. It is 100nF no doubt about it.
