Re: to recap or not to recap that is the question.

They want me to send back the card with the blown caps. From both of you saying that EVGA is a good company I will send the card back and just ask them if they would ship it back to me with the new card so I can "practice" resoldering caps. They just might do it. The card is worth nothing to them. And the person I talked to did seem to be working for a good company. I didn't get any BS from them. And I told the guy he should come to this site and check out how many products have bad caps. He did call it a "conspiracy...

You think he might be able to get a grant now? I think at least half of all the things we see published as science is in reality advertisements to get grants and endowments. Then again maybe I'm just cynical.

Hello All
I have been checking out this board and forum after finding blown caps on one of my EVGA graphics cards.

I would like to be able to fix my own digital hardware but I'm a little behind the times with my electrical engineering knowledge.

I have a EVGA 7600 GS that has blown caps just like this one:[URL=https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4902]7600 gt blown caps[/URL]

I called EVGA and they were nice enough to offer me another graphics card without warranty. My problem is they didn't say what kind of card they would send. It could be one of the same or greater value ( I spent $120 for this card) Or they could send me a forty dollar card. I just don't know what they are going to do. Now I could replace the caps in the video card and have a good card, if nothing else went when the caps...
