damaged gf4ti4200 gfx card

[PhendR]

I have a PNY geforce 4 ti4200 64Meg graphics card which has sustained some
damage. The damage is not very extensive and I was thinking to
repair it myself. I'm proficient at pcb repair...whoever, i'm not good at
finding proper components w/out a parts list.

I took some close up photos of both sides of the pcb where damage has been.
They can be seen here....

-------------------

q905 and c1267 are smoked. c1371 is slightly mushroomed on top and should be
changed too.

c1371 and c1267 are identical: Barrel caps 6.3V, 1000microFarad, 105 degrees
C,...the vendor is apparently Canicon.


q905 has the markings.....
230 (beside this number is a small "on" w/ a circle around it.)
D30
N02

not sure how to cross reference these numbers. I'm assuming that one would
be the date code.

-------------------

their is also one trace that is damaged(open). This i could easily repair.

I just need some help in finding the transistor(s) and the cap.

If someone could please help me on this subject or nudge me in the right
direction where to look, this would be appreciated.

thanks you,

THe repair is easy but the question you should be asking yourself is
"Why did it happen in the first place?". Something so bad as to wipe
out a track is pretty terminal and if I were you I'd be ordering three
or four of each replacement part.

I think you'll find that there will be more parts damaged than are visibly seen. gonna be tough to find some of the proprietary
parts. Radio shack is where I would start, simply cause they are a block away from me.....
