I have an X1900CF (picked it up for £20 broken), the fault is with one of the chokes (line of them, black cubes, next to the long red strip cooler).

One has a corner missing and shows signs of heat damage. The card works until you try to pay a game, so the symptom fits.

It's a "Pulse PA0511 101 NLT", an SMT 120nH power inductor with a max current of 31A.

I'm struggling to fine a small quantity (no more than minimum order of 50) to ship to the UK, anyone in the industry know where to get em?



Edit: Rather ironically, the X1900XT I've had for the past year (which I shall be pairing with this new card), has had one of its chokes replaced in the factory, you can see where one of them is soldered by hand.

Why not get another XTX for spares and repair?. That's the easy but pricier option.
