I have a capacitor that fell off my VGA card. As it is a new buy from Ebay, the seller is willing to let me find someone to pay him to solder it back. There seems to be only one leg of the capacitor left. Is it difficult ot do? SInce I have not even had held a soldering iron before?

I am tempted to boot the card w/o that fallen capacitor. Advisable?

I am located in London UK. Anyone can help or advice? Any help will be appreciated!
 
Do not power it up with one cap loose like that. You will most likely kill it. What brand card is it? Youi may be able to rma it to the manufacturer. If you can't it can probably be soldered back on.
 
It is a 7900GS. The seller is blaming it on me. I cannot RMA it as it is a used item.

I might go down to a TV repair shop. Are these capacitors same as those used genrally in electronics so that the have a spare?
