Thanks mockingbird for your precious help, I'm going with Panasonic SEPC capacitors and if not works I'll go with gpu reflowing, bringing the card to a real technician. If it still does not work I give up and throw it away.
Thanks for the advice.
I believe that I will not be able of reflowing the gpu, so I will leave this as a last chance to fix it.
Perhaps capacitors are not the problem, but....
......the story so far: the graphic card has worked hard since May 2009 to present
and it has suffered interferences of a faulty monitor for 6 months (bad capacitors on the scaler board).
But I still have one doubt: should I replace capacitors with others that have same ESR or lower is better?
Hi mockingbird,
thank you very much for your help.
Forgive me, I forgot to say that the graphics card has stopped working a few days ago. (And it has been showing symptoms of backdown in the last months, sporadic errors on startup with black screen and relative BIOS error code).
Hi,
I need help to identify the capacitors on the graphic card (Asus EAH4830)
as shown in the picture:

My guess:
- All solid polymer aluminum capacitors.
- Those 6 in the middle: 820uF 2,5V
- Those 3 at the bottom left: 560uF 6,3V
- Those 3 at the top: 270uF 16v
(please correct me if I'm wrong)
If I replace the capacitors with the latest solid polymer series of some vendor,
ESR/ESL/ripple-current values should be better than this capacitors, am I right?...
