Do you mean resistor / capacitor has fallen off?
Pic of item missing would help.

Have you tried to run the card anyway? As sometimes these are redundant & the card runs ok anyway (anecdotal evidence only).

If you can solder reasonbly well (or get someone to do it for you) a resistor / capacitor can be replaced provided you buy a similar rated replacement from an electronics store. Provided the poor soldering job you tried hasnt killed the card itself allready.

As for warranty ill assume you have none & even if you did knocking off either of the above voids the warrantty afaik.

capacitor has fallen off.
Its not that I need the card its just a shame to waste it if it can be fixed
I have tried with out the system just went bleeping mad no life on screen.
itd just this one tiny thing would I be able to get one from an electical store.
after all there still good agp cards if I can fix it I can put it in my kids pc ati 9700pro" at the moe.
