Why then, replace the card? > Getting the right capacitor locally in small quantities has proven to be need for them other than their capacitance and a minimum voltage tolerance? I presume these are electrolytics, since they are leaking, which makes them about the order of 100uF, and probably used to clean the power-supply rails, which means they don't need to survive more than about 15V. And over-capacitance and over-voltage would be fine too. > impossible for me. I phoned nearly every supply house and TV repair shop But why?
