I bought this card in miserable shape, I'm about to swap a few damaged caps when I noticed that the back of the card has also been treated roughly.

Two clear cases of beaten loose components. One is a missing capacitor of 1µF judging from a similar pattern at another RAM-capsule. The other one I don't know.

There's also an area I'm uncertain about where it's possible components are missing... but if guessing it's proably not.

Marked the areas in this image with a black pen, would be great if someone could help me figure this out.

Card is marked 603-3352 as well as 630-4716:

EDIT: Figured out that the other one is also a capacitor, question is what value. I guess it's too much to ask for anyone to desolder and measure one... ;-)

If it's a filter it could be important to get it right.

In that Image I can also see the circled area should contain three resistors. Can't see the value...
Which would be very helpful to know.


EDIT again:
The two lonely empty spaces I'll replace with 1µF 0603 caps, also found a cracked 10µF under the GPU and a 22µF tantal that had had its corner smacked off.
So only question that currently remains is the components in the circled (I know it's not a circle) area...
