ATI Radeon 9600 PRO - need help

[kouger]

Hi all
I have an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with a bad cap and would like to know where to get a replacement and what kind I would need.
The cap reads FZ 5L 1500 6.3V and is silver in color.
The graphics card has been running for about 2 years with no problems until last night.
Please can you advise me as to what replacement cap I should use and where I could get one from.
I don't know much about caps but do have some soldering experience so I am pretty sure I will be able to swap it out.
I am a newbie here, so please forgive me if this is the wrong place for the post.

You need a 1500uF 6.3V 105C low ESR cap. eg Panasonic FM or FC caps

Suppliers list here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=613

For US people Tomcat will supply if you send a private message(PM)

Otherwise Big Pope will mail to you if you send a PM.

if that board has thruholes along with surface mount fm will be fine but a bit taller.
all the cheap cards i have seen with the fz caps had provisions for both.
i used 1500@6.3 mbz.
these will not have clearance issues.

Who's the manufacturer of your card?

doesnt matter.
they are generic cheapo cards relabeled for whoever buys enough.

I know most of these cards were just made from the one manufacturer and were basically rebadged. However surely there have to be some non-generic cards around. Maybe a Hercules card or something?
