Blown capacitor repair on MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC

[MeetingIncapable]

Hello,

I am new to repairing computer electronics, so excuse any mistakes I make.

A friend of mine had a broken graphics card (MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC) and gave it to me. It does not power on or show any signs of life.
I identified what looks like the remains of a blown capacitor at the bottom of the board (see picture).

I wanted to replace the capacitor, but I have two questions:

• Does this repair have a chance of working? or is a blown capacitor a sign something else is wrong?
• How do I determine the rating/value of this capacitor? or something else that is good enough?

Any tips/tricks/advice is welcome!

Thanks,
MeetingIncapable

Hello,

Answer #1: Maybe or maybe not. Remove it and see if the card is working fine, if it is then you can replace the blown cap.

Answer #2: It seems to be the filter capacitor for 12V rail (or maybe 3.3V rail) from the PCIe slot. SMD 1206 10uF 50V X7R 10% ceramic cap should be fine.

Wow! I removed the capacitor and the graphics card works flawlessly. If only all repairs were as easy as this one. 😅

Thanks for the help!
