Picked up some stuff that came with a Leadtek WinFast A250 LE TD.. That's a GF4 Ti4200 for those who can't decode Leadtek model numbering...
Anyway, I was told it "only worked sometimes" - Tried it and it did nothing. black screen but no beeps.
On inspection I found a leaky GSC which I replaced with a Nichicon, but still we had nothing doing.
Closer inspection revealed that L809 was missing... Couldn't think of anything else to try so I just replaced it with some solder.
The card now appears to work fine (Or at least in live Kubuntu 8.10 anyway)
Do you think what I have done is OK? I'd try and find a replacement if I knew what value it was - but that might be just a little bit tricky..
