Quite easy to do, you dont even need additional tools for removal, you can pretty much heat one lead and press it through to the other side and do the same with the other lead. They tend to use the early ROHS unleaded solder that you have to dump a HUGE amount of heat into, just to get it workable in any form. Atleast the few older monitors and flatscreen tvs I have all worked, had the same horrible solder in them.

Heh, I just searched local craigslist for them and there are four ads....from people that want broken LCD TVs. Guess the secret's out around here.

I had the same problem, bad caps, on a samsung LCD. Replaced them, still doesn't work. I've been working on that problem for a year now. Off and on project. :/ Maybe I should send it to you for fixing. I have to much other stuff going on now.

I got the 7900gtx re-done (Fell off when baked.) The ti500, ti4800se and 6800 ultra are each 90% done.
5950 is a challenge.. I am unsure of vmod on that. I found one on line that looks right but measuring ohms tells me that it is not right. http://www.xpert-oc-team.de/forum/index.php?area=vbcmsarea_content&contentid=16. measured ohms at the point that they put on the vgpu mod is only 1-2 ohms, so i think it is wrong. It is not connected electrically to the fb pin either.
I am going to add some caps to the good scoring cards that have potential to take top spots in the class. I have the caps from a motherboard and from a dead gpu or two. Do I just need to make sure the voltage rating is higher that the voltage that they will receive, then solder them in parallel to the existing caps?

There is some interesting discussion and pictures at kpc about lightning zombies. I see that Bobnova has seen some of the discussion. I will link here so that I can find it later.

Yeah I might take a shot at this theres some helpful information in there about the vrms. I have one in my possesion that could either use a ressurection of the vrm or possibly might be workable still after such a miracle. But highly unlikely. Things had some serious abuse in its lifetime.
