it has no writing on it, any of them for that matter. got ahold of a guy that says he'll take a look at it and see what he can do.

Did the card get fixed?

From what I can tell from the pictures, it looks like the capacitor itself is broken near the solder pad. It also appears that the broken capacitor is in parallel to 9 other capacitors, so it might be for a power supply circuit. Chances are, the card might work fine with the capacitor missing. I doubt the card could be damaged further without the capacitor, but can't really say.
