A few years ago I had the card mentioned in the title. It was damaged, I tried to repair it by replacing two capacitors. It didn't help, the card went to scrap, but I left the capacitors (new Rubycon ZLJ). Today I managed to get another, working card, but someone replaced the same capacitors on it. They have incorrect dimensions and ugly solder, so I want to use the capacitors that I have left. The replaced capacitors are 6.3V 1500uf, and the capacitors I have are 6.3V 1200uf. I have a photo of the old card with 1200uf capacitors soldered on, so I am sure that this was the capacity on it originally.

Can someone who has this card confirm what capacity the capacitors have? There are two possibilities: someone soldered wrong uf caps, or there are different revisions of this card with different capacities.

Originally it was 2x1200uF 6.3V Sanyo caps, but even slightly bigger capacity (you say 1500uF) should be OK, I think.
