    8800gts cap broke off :(






    As you can see (Sorry about quality) 1 of the capacitors has come off. This happened the other day My monitor lost output signal so I restarted and it happened 2 more times so I thought something was up and took the card out and noticed the capacitor was not seated correctly and wobbly then it broke off in my hand lol. I hope it can be repaired as I'm too poor to replace and am having to rock a crappy old PCI only FX5200 which is utter balls. I was told on another forum I can just solder a couple bits of wire from the pads to the legs of the Capacitor as it's fine just decapitated. Would this really be able to repair my card?. I got a borrow of a solder kit but is missing the 40w Iron just has a 100w gun in it lol

    Edit I have read through 10 pages and you guys like to know what caps they are

    642
    SVP

    Is what the cap has written on it I heard these are good 1's?

      Those are good caps, Sanyo's Solid Polymer Capacitor SVP series.
      just solder back to the PCB.

          I have never solderd anything before and cant find a video that shows how to put 1 of those SMD cap's back on. I saw a guide but to be host didn't understand it. If I can use 2 small bits of wire to put it back on it would be easier for me as my CMOS battery is vertical in my mobo and pretty much touches/rubs the cap wich I think is the reason the cap became loose in the first place. Thanks for reading by the way and the quick response

              Do you have the right equipment and some old boards? Just take an old board and take parts off and put them back on for practice, after about an hour you'll get the hang of it and can fix that video card w/o a problem.

              EDIT: BTW... take a can of air to your fan :P and maybe computer if you're GPU fan was that bad :P

                  If you have a TV repair shop nearby, call and ask them if they will solder it back on.

                              Your card is messed up.

                              Just look at the fan. Dirty.

                              If you would remove the heatsink you'd see heatsink completely clogged.

                              GPU chip died most probably. You would need to reflow it.

                                  Best way to solder LVDS connector for beginner (and qfn) ?
                                  by corrize
                                  Hello, I'm a beginner for micro soldering. Right now I have some difficult to solder a qfn 20, I guess I put too much solder on the thermal-ground pad, the result is a corner of chip wich don't touch the board (last try).

                                  I use a wire solder with hot air, I tin the board and chip before with iron and I use good flux.

                                  I will have to solder a LVDS connector (40 pins, laptop pc), I saw a solder paste in seringe, good quality (it does not scatter).

                                  UV solder mask - high temp resistent, recomendation?
                                  by myth77
                                  Can someone recommend any good UV solder mask? But i need a solder mask that will stand high temperetures. The thing is...sometimes i have a bigger cooper ripped from the board, lets say mosfet pad... i reconstract it with cooper sheet, then i "glue it" with solder mask...then i use UV light...and let it cool a bit. After, i try to clean the cooper of extra solder mask..and till that part all is ok. But, when i use a soldering iron to solder that pad/cooper...the solder mask gets weaker or destroyed and finally the pad is ripped again from the board .
                                  Is there any solder mask...

                                  So I though in my spare time I’d set myself up repairing motherboards mainly pin damaged lga1151 sockets types.

                                  I’m using an achi ir sc pro rework station (gave up on my Achie ir6500 - don’t recommend)

                                  I’ve managed to get my rework profile somewhere in the correct region (after a lot of trial and error) to get the old sockets off and reflow new ones back on again, the problems I’m getting is not all of the solder balls are re-attaching when re-flow occurs. I know this because when socket is removed pads still look clean and have no solder...

                                  This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                                  There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                                  Solder not reflowing - what am I doing wrong?
                                  by sircastor
                                  I'm trying to fix a broken MacBook Air, and got a parts board to salvage components from. Following the suggestions of many folks here, I wanted to get in a little practice of using my hot air station (A Quick 957DW+) on the parts board so I know what kind of behavior to expect.

                                  For the life of me, I can't get anything done with this thing. I have tried multiple temperatures (from 210-425c), different air speeds, preheating the board (with the hot air, just warming it all around). I have applied what feels like excessive amounts of flux (Amtech V2-TF-559) and the solder on these components...
