    Replacing MOSFET on Video Card with non standard size

    Hi,

    After probing a faulty Sapphire 7750 video card, I isolated the problem to one of the MOSFETs, marked 4926N RWU4L. After searching, I found the datasheet:
    https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...b8b5d8a6ee.pdf

    Only problem is, it's impossible to find this MOSFET in my country (Bulgaria).

    My idea was, to buy a more standard format MOSFET with matching specifications and use that in place. It'll be ugly but it may bring back the video card cheaply.

    Having checked, I can obtain this MOSFET locally:


    Most of the characteristics match or improve on the original (e.g. Ig MAX). Would it be a suitable replacement, or am I missing a red herring?

    Thanks

    I apologise if this is in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure which to put it in.

    Looks like all the specs are within reasonable tolerance, it shouldn't be a problem, at least electrically. I'm not sure how you're going to physically get the part to fit though. I'm usually all about not buying stuff on ebay that could be counterfeit, but in this case, it may be a better option.
