I purchased a very highend video card on ebay that arrived with physical damage. The supplier acknowledged the damage and replaced the card but said not to bother returning the damaged card so I ended up with a free extra but damaged card. To be exact one of the capacitor was broken of the board but it was in the package. Now this card is made with cutting edge surface mount technology and ideally when reparing it should have the broken of pins desoldered from the board and a new intact capacitor soldered on. That's all very well but where do you find the replacement highly specialized replacement capacitor. I found Vlad using a proximity seach on yellow pages and took the card and capacitor to him. He tested the capacitor and found that it was still functioning correctly. I watched him work on it and he actually solder the broken of capacitor back onto this extremely fine and advanced printed circuit board! This guy could be a brain surgeon. The card worked perfectly. Bonus! an extra highend graphics card for $40. Thanks Vlad. Now I know where to bring my broken electronic.
