Trying to replace capacitor - which one do I choose?

[King Mustard]

We are trying to replace two "blown" capacitors on a seven-year-old computer video card.

The capacitors appear identical and state, amongst other things, 6.3V/1500uF.

When we use that information the RS Components website, there are 24 results.

Can you help us find the correct one?

P.S. I would post a link to the results page of the RS Components website, but this forum does not allow links to be posted until I have 6+ posts on here. I also have an image of one of the capacitors, but again, the forum won't let me link to it.

You don't need an electrician for an electronics components question though

If you have a problem with your house wiring, or your Electric Arc Furnace in your steelworks won't fire up, or your overhead crane in your shipyard won't lift, or the lights in your supermarket aren't working then we - Electricians - are the people you need.

However, if your problem relates to electronics i.e. computers then you may be better off asking an Electronics Engineer.
