Well I had my 9800 Pro card out because I was going to put my VGA silencer back on because the stock fan is so noisy, even tho I can't clock my card as high with the Silencer. Well, I took the little black springy things off and when I picked up my card, I noticed there was a capacitor on the table! It's funny what your immediate ractions are you think something dies. I first thought, well I cant get the Raptor now and I'll have to use my old Geforce 2 until I can get an NF4 board and a 6600GT because I wouldnt want to spend money on another AGP card and not keep up with the times. Then I figured out how the capacitor fit onto the card and pulled out one of the best things ever made.. SUPER GLUE. I had the little capacitor in some tweezers, stuck it on the card, pressed it down, plugged it in, turned my computer on, turned my computer off, plugged in the molex cord that I always forget, turned my computer back on and I'm playing Guild Wars! Aah.. I can still get my Raptor :) :) :)

I didnt even do anything to it.. It was just sitting on the table after I got those black things off. I did, however, slip a little when I was pushing the black things from the top side of the card. That must have loosened it and it probably fell off when I set the card down on the table. Hehe. It works tho!

Glad it worked for you.
