Re: What to consider when buying replacement caps?
Thanks very much for this info. I wanted to order from here,
but I couldn't find a matching set, I wanted to get both types the same

What to consider when buying replacement caps?
Hi all,
finding the uf, the correct voltage, diameter, lead spacing, etc,etc.,
is easy enough, but what are the rules regarding things like ripple current
and/or impedance when considering replacements?
Or should an effort be made to actually find the series of the existing
(burned out) caps? Anything else to consider?
Appreciate any guidance.
The motherboard in question is a 12 year old PCchips KM266 pro
version 9.2a. My son is asking me to save his existing system
because he has so much stuff installed.... -
Re: Options with Nvidia graphics card
Thanks for your comments and perspectives. I have my refund in hand,
as well as the card. The card, as-is, is dead - but as a project, I might replace
the caps and see if it brings it back to life.
Currently, there are 5 blown caps marked FZ73, 1000, 6.3v and one cap that
looks OK (same brand) marked FZ75, 470, 16v. Might as well replace all six.
Anybody have any specific recommendations on replacements?
I might also look around on Ebay and attempt to get another card. The PC I'm

Re: Options with Nvidia graphics card
Hi all - I tried to edit the previous message, but I couldn't find the edit button.
The whole thing is moot now, I put the card in the Dell, no picture on the screen at all.
Reseated it, but it's no-go. Seems as if I have to arrange a refund and return.
I put back the old FX5200 and all is well again.
Thanks for the comments!

Re: Options with Nvidia graphics card
Thanks for all the responses. I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, I have all the
equipment - that's why I considered a repair Vs. a return. To be fair, it is probably
an honest mistake by the seller. It's not glaringly obvious with a quick glance.
But if you look closely, you can see the bulge (on all 6 of the 6.3v caps)
and the brown stuff coming out.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hi everybody, joined up today, pleased to be here.
I was asking for some advice on an Nvidia video card.
Previously, I had received email help concerning bad caps on
a Biostar motherboard.
I'm a computer tech, and learned to solder at a quite young age.

Options with Nvidia graphics card
Hi all -
purchased a used Nvidia 6200 AGP video card from Ebay;
pretty basic card - wanted to put it in an old Dell Dimension I picked up
with Windows 7 installed. The existing card, Nvidia FX5200 doesn't support
windows 7 (stuck on standard VGA mode)
I paid $15 for it, including shipping, but I'm surprised and dismayed to
see 6 bulging and leaking capacitors. I think they're Sacon, silver
with blue on the top. The numbers say FZ73, 1000, 6.3 volt.
The card is otherwise clean. Worth repairing? Or contact the seller and send...
