GF4 440MX puked. A couple questions.
First post, though I have done quite a bit of reading on the forums here. I have an old GF4 440MX AGP card that had a cap give up the ghost. This card lost any sort of stability, long long ago, so it was shelved, but I finally had a need for it and I decided to take a close look.
The card has a whopping total of 4 caps (yeah, its one of those low profile, $40.00 cheapo cards)- 2 1000uF, 6.3 V Sanyos, 1 470uF, 6.3v Sanyo, and a 1200uF, 6.3 V GSC. (I'll let you guess which one blew.. hint- it wasn't the Sanyos
).
So, a couple questions- first, since the Sanyo's seem to be good caps, and none of them blew, I would think it would be un-necessary to replace them. Correct?
Next- Any tip on where to find a low profile 1200uF, 6.3v cap? Newark doesn't seem to have any smallish ones (I can find some 10v ones, but they are 25mm tall). There seem to be a ton of 1000 and 1500uF out there, but 1200 seems to be tough to find. Thanks!
