Re: Anyone seen like this before?
I appreciate all the well ment recommendations. Now somebody please give me a new iron for my birthday, or try to do a better job with a 15W iron ; )
By the way soldering was part of my masters degree. I know how it SHOULD be done.

Hi Pope.
I realize what you're saying about both size and soldering, but this is what you get when you don't have access to the right resources and the right tools.
Besides, it works perfectly fine!

I recapped my card and it's working again! You may sue me for bad crafting, but my copper bit wasn't able to melt the original tin solder. What kind of tin solder is this? I ended up having to rip out the bad caps using brute force, and cold soldering the new ones to the original legs.
I couldn't find caps for less than 25V (same farads as the original), that's why they're so big.
Now it's back to my RC flight simulator!...Leave a comment:

Willawake, thanks for the response! I'll check out the other caps and start looking for replacements.
Gastorgrab, what do you mean "looks like high-speed photography"? As soon I heard some crackling I drew up my camera and got this shot within 1/2000 of a second

I just found these hairy electrolyte caps on my video card, it's an [URL=http://global.aopen.com/products_detail.aspx?ctgr=62&Auno=1393&mdstl=196]AOpen Aeolus PCX6600GT-DV128[/URL].
Anyone seen anything like this before? Is it probable that recapping will get the card working again?
Thx,
