Ok can someone tell me the name of the tubular object bottom right on this card, the silver object, my question regards the snapping off of this little object, my card is out of warranty & I'm wondering can this be soldered back on, the card still operates but I'm sure it must serve a purpose & I risk further damage..
Thing is I cannot afford to upgrade at the moment & the lose of this card will see me PCless for months

You mean the capacitor? It's for regulating current flow... Depending on how vital that particular one is, the card might still work, but might lose stability.
