I was browsing your website on a mobo problem and this bad cap issue made me think of the fried vid card. Grabbed it out of the dead parts bin and low and behold, 3 bad caps! They're 1000uf, 10 volt with a YEC in a diamond logo..dark blue with grey lettering and stripes. Following your instructions from the website, I soldered in 3 caps from radio shack 1000 uf, 35 volt. It works!! It's been running perfectly for 6 hours straight so far Thanks for all the info on this issue as a $3 repair saved me $200

I guess I should have mentioned video cards with bad caps on the site somewhere, this isn't the first I've heard of this... I have 3 Chaintech GeForce II's on the junk shelf with bad caps. The bad caps were branded \"D.S\", which I've never heard of. I repaired one to see if that would fix it (pictured below), and it did, but a GeForce II is essencially worthless today so I didn't repair the other two. A GeForce 4 on the other hand is still a pricey card, well worth putting $3.00 worth of caps in...
