Fixed Graphics Card

New_Caps_Installed.jpgSeven New Capacitors, some desoldering (one replacement solder sucker), and a little soldering back and the card is better than new.  Note the 10V upgrade too.  They’re a little tall, but AGP cards usually have plenty of room.   The extra headroom cost several cents.
