Capacitor on Ti4400

[danza]

One day, I accidentlly chipped that off while I was taking it out (oops :/).

So I am just wondering what should I replace it with. Also, can I make it more stable by useing a higher value cap?

I did this to an old Nvidia TNT 16MB card, and the card continued to work fine afterwards, so you might try it and see if it still works. All a capacitor does is even out the voltage, because in reality a capacitor blocks all current in a DC system (like a computer). I would try it and see if you got lucky with it still working. Also, a higher capacitor shouldn't hurt the system at all, but probably no need for it, if you feel like flexing the sautering muscle, I would just put the same one back on.

Same thing happened to me in my thread:

Please let me know if you have any success repairing it. Your capacitor is out on the corner so it likely doesn't have a critically essential function but mine is sitting right above the core between two memory chips and probably has a lot of do with voltage regulation there. I don't dare put it back in without a repaired cap.

Ahh thx digit, will give it a go tomorrow or sometime during the weekend then

Whats the numbers/codes on yours spare? I found this link on google, hopefully it will be helpful to you. It doesn't say anything about my 6s though :/

Wonder if you can buy a capacitor without a certain value for voltage...

Anyone remember how they replaced the capacitors on gainward ti4200?
