LONG VERSION: Ok, I already have an ASUS 8800GT 512MB card. Once worked great, now i'd say "good". Needing a little more performance for newer games, I bought another one for fairly cheap to run in SLI. Well, it was cheap because it was refurbished. After I realized the card just wouldnt work, contacted retailer for rma. Lost the box before shipping, found six months later, cannot rma. Figured I would try again. Still no avail. Suddenly noticed a capacitor is completely missing/torn off.

SHORT VERSION: I have identified the exact capacitor I need to find (the one next to the missing one), just dont know where or how to find similar one to work. I cannot figure out the codes labeled on it. I understand it is 16 volt, but dont know the farad value. Can anyone look at the markings on the capacitor and tell me what capacitor may work here?

If anyone needs more pics, let me know. It's no prob.

More info: Card would initially boot to windows 7 login screen and fail. If booting into safe mode, it works. I am amazed it worked, or lack of, this much with a capacitor completely missing.

TIA...
