How do I find a capacitor/resister?

How do I find a capacitor/resister?
I have a videocard and this capacitor/resister(whatever it is) broke off. I want to buy another online and see if I can repair it. The numbers on the top are as follows:

52

100

16A

How would I go about finding one of these?

Need a better pix that shows the actual part close up (with the numbers)
But from the pix you had, that looks like an electrolytic tantalum type
capacitor ... if it is, one side will be marked on the part or the board with
either a + or a - sign to indicate the polarity.

It is a surface mount electrolytic capacitor. I don't know what 52 stands for, but I am guessing its a 100uF 16V capacitor.

Dig through the Digikey catalog and see if you can match it - make sure you get the correct dimensions and value.

Edit:

I believe that the stripe on SMT capacitors is the positive terminal, also 52 or the color of the text may tell you what type of electrolyte it uses - as to whether that matters, it may be a special low ESR type, but you can give a regular one a shot.

I don't have the original capacitor. This was a friends videocard and he broke it off by trying to force the video card into a slot on a motherboard where that capacitor ran into a capacitor on the motherboard.
Incidentally it destroyed the motherboard as well.
Anyway he never found the capacitor. I got those numbers off someone on ebay that was selling an identical videocard. I can see on the motherboard where the positive end is. The place where it goes has the little "house" outline and the + sign on the top.

I need to be certain on this and I am still not.

Sounds like an easy fix to me. Your friend will replace both units.

Oh he is but I'm keeping this one.😀

I had have a video card here somewhere with a capacitor broken off too, very wobbly from the factory. It ran for 2 years daily without any problems after I broke one leg and then cut the other leg and removed from the board.

Tell us exactly which model that is.

I believe the cap is a 100uF low ESR at 16V surface mount aluminum electrolytic - Mouser.com has that in Cornell Dubilier (CD part no. AFK107M16D16T-F) for less than 50 cents each. IDK how much shipping would be but certainly more than the cost of the item.

Awesome.
Thanks everyone.:thumbsup::beer:

by the looks of it you solved your problem but if you have not...i was in your shoes recently

When upgrading my PC, the IDE cable that conects the DVDRW to the MB was too tight on the video card and broke off a apacitor...i was lucky as it did not break it, by merely ripped it off the soldering connectors...i soldered it back on maintaining proper polarity and never looked bakc, playing Gears of was to the max on my E8400 with 2gb ram and xfx 7800GT overclocked
