My son has been using this video card for several months an now it is "no display".
The through-hole electrolytics are all Evercon (junk - I know), three 1500uf 6.3v, 2 470uf 16v.
The SMT phony solids are the question. I believe the ones with the halo and UD markings are Nichicon and can stay.
Another six are marked 57 1000 6A, and I think these are SACON, hence crap, and must be replaced. The card has through holes on the back, so that's what I am going to use, probably Sanyo 1000uf 16v electrolytics.
There is one real solid 470uf 16V V4S that I was going to leave there.
Can anyone confirm that the 57 series are in fact Sacon?
Is recapping this board likely to bring it back to life?
