what is the capacitors ratings... I am sure that I can dig through my parts bin and find you one. But I will need the voltages, and the micro ferad ratings in order to be sure that i send you the right one.

Thanks for looking.
The info on it is
22
16s
om3

From my limited knowledge, nothing there refers to voltage.
I can only describe it I guess. It's one of eleven similar capacitors, with similar markings.
There are others which read 16,25 and 35 volts. This particular capacitor however has just the markings I stated above.

Regards to RadioShack, we do have outlets here but they don't have a clue about it, it's probably not as well stocked as those in the United States.
The other spareparts outlets say that the capacitors are unique to the board and they dont have generic replacements.

Some may say it's an old card, so just upgrade, well, in this country, an AIW128 PRO retails for as much as US$200, although I have seen some AIW7500s for US$175.
Why not try Newegg or EBAY you ask?
Well Newegg do not accept international credit cards, and PayPal revoked my account because my country is not on their international list.
Hope you can help.

while I hope Wolf finds something, anyone else has any other solution, would a soldered bridge help? I need TV in my life.

That would be a MASSIVE mistake. There is a reason why ATi placed a capacitor there.

Unless you wish to destroy your hardware, I would suggest not doing that.

I am still looking for a capacitor... but, the pickings are slim.
