This is the easiest recap I ever done - and I just showing it up to show others where they should start with, if they are beginners with recapping. Such easy recap - originally the card has only four electrolyte caps - is a good start. You know, practice makes perfect. The card is here:
Caps on it are not very very bad G-Luxons:
So let's exchange them!
GF2 MX400 64Mbi PCI
-------------------
1x 470uF 10V d8 G-Luxon - 1000uF 6.3V d8 Samxon GC
4x 100uF 16V d6.3 G-Luxon - 100uF 25V d6.3 Samxon GK
As you can see, I slightly bumped the capacity for the main chip voltage filtering. If I was overclocking, it would sure help. I also added one omited cap, bringing the number of caps to five total
Samxon caps in place:
And this top cap was omited originally - well, not anymore:
The card worked before the mod (but dunno how long, given G-Luxons record of catastrophic failures) and it worked after it too. Such easy recaps I would recommend to anyone - before they try recapping something harder and usualy much more valuable
