Hello, there is a damaged capacitor (as if a screw grazed it and kind of tore off a corner???) on a graphics card i got a good deal on, it still works and it is not experiencing any issues (Yet) but I really want to replace it. I do have the technical ability and the tools to accomplish this job (preheater and proper soldering equipment).The capacitor in question is an aluminum polymer that is marked “925u-1200-2.5”. I take this to indicate the capacitor is a 1200uF 2.5v capacitor, and 925u being the series/batch code. Am i wrong in thinking this? I actually have a bunch of exact replacements (nichicons) for this capacitor (although it is marked slightly differently “1 2 2” it is INDEED a 1200 if 2.5v capacitor. The first number indicates one, the second number indicates 2 the third number in that series is a multiplier of 100 so 12x100 = 1200 uF. I have confirmed this to be true from the manufacturer of the replacement caps and also they test at 1200uf on my capacitance meter. So my question is would i be safe to assume the original caps are 1200uf and would the replacement caps be a GOOD replacement? Included below are links to photos of both original and
replacement caps. The originals are slightly blurry and the replacements are marked “FP”. And if so, should i replace all of the caps in this section with the so they are all of the same brand/series? And yes they are the same physical size.
