Those values are not at all critical. 22uF 6V is fine.

There are some other weird looking things, but can't really tell much from those photos. Do you have a flatbed scanner? If you plan to solder back the loose caps, measure them first for shorts.

Hello, If you post some clear high res pictures of your card we might be able to tell where the cap goes. Edit: there is another damaged cap near to the sticker. Filename Screenshot_20220608-022101_Chrome.jpg File size 137.54 KiB Views 173 views

I don't know how to feel about this. What are the other PCI cards?

Can you take a high res photo of the damaged pins? Also a photo with the backside of the card.

Doubt that 1 missing cap will make the card not work. Right TMU has some funny looking pins, maybe check that. Edit: C193 sits sideways.

I don't know what you get for that price, for measuring hsync/vsync, sure, it should do it. But for other stuff it might be useless.

Looks weird indeed, like it's missing 1 leg. Maybe it's a diode and doesn't need the third leg. @Meatball do you have an oscilloscope? If the card doesn't throw any errors it's probably mostly OK. I had a card with the exact behaviour as yours, it was missing hsync or vsync, don't recall which one. …

Regarding 1, I fixed around 20-30 V2 cards. Most of them had bad solder joints on the FBI/TMUs. For some reason the solder on these cards (regardless of the brand) has turned to mush. The failures I'm describeing are not due to mechanical damage.

Most likely some TMU/FBI pins are not soldered anymore. Poke them gently to see if they move and resolder them if needed.

Well, if you somehow manage to solder it, then yes. I don't really see how, since the thing melts while you solder. You could just use a copper wire, diameter doesn't matter.

Safest would be to replace the inductor with a piece of wire until you get a proper replacement. A noisy rail won't damage anything in this case, but a missing one can, in time, damage something. The inductor you linked seems fine.

I highly doubt it has anything to do with the RAM. Most likely just filtering some sensitive rails for the tuner.

It's a 15uH inductor. Package looks like 1812. Something like this: https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bourns/CC … F%252B0Hw%3D%3D

Does the card have 1 or 2 fans? Can you post a high res photo of the area around the missing part?

They're not really faster than the 6000, as they only do AA. So it's more like a 4500.
