Geforce2 = Geforce2 Ultra??

Just took off the heatsink of this Engineering Sample Geforce2, I received in a trade, and found a "NV15 Ultra ES" chip. Does anyone happen to know what this may mean? The only problem is I broke off one of the tranistors "c110" and the card does not work now. Does any one know how I can fix it? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
MK
 
A reference designator of C110 would indicate to me that the part is a capacitor, not a transistor. If its a small, 0.080" x 0.050" or 0.060" x 0.030", two soldered end connections, sounds like a small bypass capacitor to me. I assume it is in pieces?
Value? 100pf to 0.01mfd, somewhere in that range.
 
if you have the skill and expertise to fix it, then run down to your local radio shack store and try to find a matching capacitor. you're gonna need a soldering iron for sure. when doing this, be extremely careful with the iron and solder, for the solder has a tendency to run and "smeer" over the circuits if done carelessly, so be REALLY careful. and most importantly of all, some capacitors are polarized, meaning that it has a positive and a negative terminal. don't overlook this small situation otherwise you'll be sorried. good luck, bud.
 
oh yeah, and another thing. for the replacement capacitor, in SOME cases, it is alright to substitude a capacitor with a margin difference of around 5-10%. i do not know specifically the replacement difference tolerance is for the geforce2, but it's always the wisest to get the perfect capacitor match.
