    Help identifying caps on this video card

    A bit of history: When I was younger and foolish (let's say, six months ago), an old GeForce FX 5500 came into my possession. This thing had polymer caps (vents open), and smaller standard caps. I removed them, but I was ignorant of the important difference between polymer and standard caps. The old polymers said "6.3v 1000", and I used 6.3v 1000uF standard caps. Of course, the board refused to work, and I removed all the caps, including the small ones. Now I have found that board again, and I want to give it a shot, but I don't know which caps must go on this thing (I remember the 6.3v 1000 from the old polys, but the small ones... no clue). I have found a picture of the card, a perfect layout match, but I can't get the values from the caps. If anyone happens to have/found/seen this particular board and can write the cap values, please do. It will help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

      Polys do not usually have vents - they were most probably Sacon FZ electrolytic caps. (Metal can without plastic sleeve, blue marker on top)

          had a similar card. exact same card layout, but with a FX5200 GPU and passive cooled (even had the same heatsink, just without the fan)

          the ones in the upper half of the pic with the X vent are all 6,3V 1000uF, the small ones next to the fan connector were all 16V 100uF on my card.

              (taking notes) Great! Only two more to go. One is almost hidden under the power cord for the cooler, and the other is right next to the "clock-thingie" (I don't remember the name for that). They look the same so, they can't be too far of 16V 100uF. Thanks!

                  on my card, all of those smaller ones were 16V 100uF

                      Then that's it, if you had a board with those caps, those values have to work in mine. I'll give it a shot as soon as I can. Thanks, Scenic!

                          This is from my son’s gaming computer that at first had minor overheating issues when playing a very intense game with it causing the computer to crash or reboot

                          Then bough a new motherboard and a new computer case that a cooling system in it already installed also brought the cooling system for this video card but now the issue with it is that it randomly rebooted screen goes blank randomly and suddenly video freezing or started with video being there then blank screen and then the video comes back or it just stays blank for a while and then maybe it will come back but it...

                          Can't find exact matching caps for replacements, what should I get to prevent video issues?
                          by SluggerB
                          I have an old Tivo. The Power Supplies are known to have caps that fail. Here are the caps that come with the original power supply:



                          I could not find replacement caps with the exact same specs. I followed an online guide and recapped the power supply with caps with these specs



                          The power supply now works, however the HDMI video is giving me eye strain. I don't know how a capacitor on a Power supply could impact an HDMI video signal, but it does, the Tivo interface has a flicker now and the color/brightness is off. So I want to get some new caps...

                          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                          by Paxman_Swede
                          Hello!

                          I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                          The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                          I have studied the board and...

                          by gcrezz
                          The issue with this video card is the HDMI port. Specifically on pin 19 (Diode checks on all other pins are normal). When i do a diode check on it from the pin on the board itself, I have nothing. There is also no short on the pin. Resistance reads about 200k. Normally on any HDMI pin 19 I would expect some voltage drop anywhere from .5v to 1.2v but here, I have nothing. The card is operational and can be used via the displayPort ports, but not through the HDMI. Attached you will find the pdf schematics for the card on page 22. I have verified that all of the resistors on this line before the...

                          What video card can I get for this computer what limitation does the CPU have concerning video card and memory size on the video card

                          I am exploring what I use on this computer I do not much experience with doing this type of matching video card to motherboards

                          Any help suggestions would greatly be appreciated
