I recently 'baked' a PNY video card to try to reflow some bad solder
joints. Ended up with some electrolytic s that had a black dot over the
X. Replace them and now the card works. It is an NVidia 8500 chipped card
with a BGA GPU. Most of the caps looked ok. I suspect the ones that
dotted were part of the problem. PNY isn't known to use reliable
components since their card was much less expensive than the real NVidia
counterpart.
