so my dual voodoo2 card setup broke and i need some help fixing... what happened was is somehow(still looking into why) a capacitor broke off... now... i think this is a capacitor(limited knowledge) is there anywhere BESIDES radioshack i can find out what i need to get to replace this... in case any of you know the cap has: 10 16S 8KD on the top, with a 1/5 of the top painted black while the rest of it is silver... i will try to get pics up soon thanks
ummm... Take the cap, put it in your left hand. Then put your hands behind your back, then swicth the capacitors around in your hands until you don't know which hand you have it in... then pick a hand... You';ll of found the EXACT right cap to go on your board... Kidding, sorry, I had to do it... ummm... I would need pics for it, as would anyone else I'm sure. if you need a host, try www.uploadit.org, or if need be email me, and I can do it... I guess give me your email address, and we figure it out. Sorry, I couldn't help more yet, I am sort of a noob at electronics, well, more of an amature.
There are basically two types of caps... the cylidrical kind and the flat kind. There are SMT (surface mount) kinds for boards, but they're just flat kinds squished into little squares. You can also get CapPacks that look like spiders, but probably, if it broke off your board and is a cap, it's the cylidrical kind like this Or like this The letters and numbers you gave line up with cap tolerance codes, but nothing you gave was a capacitance it seemed. Is what you gave us the only thing written on the part?
