While digging through an old box, I found a video card of mine that suddenly stopped working one day back almost 15 years ago but I kept thinking I could fix later. It's a Geforce 4 Ti 4600 and when I opened the case to replace it, I saw that one of the inductors had broke loose from the board. I didn't have the skills to fix it at the time, and I can't seem to find the inductor that had been there. I'm sure it needed to be replaced anyway.

Anyone know where I could source a replacement inductor? I've got the tools to do a repair, but I can't seem to locate the right size inductor to replace the one that's missing. All the ones I see on Mouser and Digikey don't look quite right. I do know it's a 4R7 from reading online but I'm not really familiar with inductors.

Or purchase a cheap card and remove the inductor.
